For the sake of creativity. Art.
The history of Miniature Books is a long and very interesting one. The oldest and most highly decorated mini's are works of astounding artistry and skill.
I think that's reason enough

I saw a thing on the world smallest bible once. I just figured that was impractical.
And I've learned that impractical is also a substitute definition for art.
But wouldn't an artful book thats normal size be cooler? Something people could actually flip through, with cool writing and pictures?

Cooler for some. Personally, I'd be just as impressed, if not more so, by something that was in miniature. It has a magic all of its own.
"And I've learned that impractical is also a substitute definition for art."
Not all art is supposed to be practical. Things of beauty and creativity don't need to be practical to be appreciated for the skill they took to produce.
Takes all types

Well in my point of view the practicality of art is just harder to define. There's always something practical about art, it's often simply below the surface.
