GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
THE WORLD’S LARGEST BOOK
“Bhutan”
Measuring five by seven feet when opened and weighing 133 pounds, Guinness World Records certified Bhutan: A Visual Odyssey Across the Last Himalayan Kingdom is the world’s largest book that was published in 2003.
In 1998, Michael Hawley, director of special projects at MIT visited Bhutan. Inspired by its scenic beauty and people, together with a desire to demonstrate how scientific field expeditions can achieve better photography, Hawley decided to produce a huge, limited-edition book of photographs to raise money for Bhutan’s schools.
