I started this piece in JUL'15 and finished in JAN '18, but did not work on it exclusively. The loss of detail for this mini compared to the full size is negligible IMO. It gives you a softened overall view of the image versus a crisp view (e.g., the dragon scales are visible, but not as defined as in the full size). The book titles are blurs instead of words, but the pages are still distinguishable. Overall, this colorful piece was fun to stitch. I'd recommend it for someone who would like a smaller version of this super cute chart, as the loss is more in the depth of detail not the amount of detail.
