One of 42 “pages” in Tidbits, a wall catalog of selected bits of information about Herman Miller products and services. The “Big Book” was designed to be displayed in sales facilities for customers to browse and get a comprehensive and visually interesting overview of the company’s current offerings. The 42 pages were mounted on custom hardware and could be swung, much like looking through posters in an art gallery.
