The World’s largest book : Earth Platinum

The world’s largest book, a giant atlas weighing 150 kg, has been put on display at the Sydney State Library for one month. The atlas, Earth Platinum, only 31 copies in the world published by Millennium House in 2012, measures 1.8 metres by 2.7 metres.
Over 100 international cartographers, geographers and photographers were involved in the production of the atlas which contains 128 pages — 61 pages of maps and 27 images of famous locations including Vatican City’s St. Peter’s Basilica and Peru’s ancient citadel, Machu Picchu.

Many of the images were made from stitching together 1,000 individual photographs. The largest image has 12,000 photographs.

Until now, the British Library held the record for the world’s largest atlas with the 1660 Klencke Atlas.
