What is a microbox? I mean, I have a pretty good idea that it must
be a really tiny letterbox, but do you put the same things in it?

> What is a microbox? What goes in it?
My definition of a mini-letterbox is about a 2"x2"x1" container
(plastic, tin (altoids/everest gum), etc.), and a micro-letterbox is
typically a 35 mm film canister or something of a similar size which
would have a log that rolls up tightly and a small stamp... I
occasionally include a really tiny pen/pencil & sharpener if they
will fit.

Thanks for your help! I was wondering how you managed the log in a
microbox. Thanks to you also Sam I am, for your reply.

The first microbox I found had a long piece of paper in it rather than a
rolled up "booklet". I have since adopted this technique: I use butcher paper
which is quite thin, cut it to about 10" X 18" and fold it to fit in a film
canister (the most water-tight box on earth). This way, even if people have
big stamps, they can fit them on. Of course, you might have to check
microboxes more often to put fresh paper in.
