World's largest published book goes on display

"National Library of Scotland visitors can see the world's largest published book. To mark World Book Day, we are putting on display Bhutan: a visual odyssey across the last Himalayan kingdom. The book measures 5x7 feet when open and weighs 133 lbs (around nine and a half stone or 60 kilos). Each copy is printed only on demand, and uses a roll of paper longer than a football field, more than a gallon of ink and 24 hours' printing time. It contains full-colour photographs of Bhutan, also known as 'Shangri-La'. They were taken by students and staff at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at the University of Washington, and by Bhutanese photographers. The book will be on show from Tuesday 4 to Tuesday 11 March during exhibition opening hours"
