MSNBC reports that an Australian publisher unveiled what he says is the biggest book in the world, seemingly in a bid to steal the spotlight from his digital rivals.
The 6-by-9 foot atlas titled “EARTH, Platinum edition” will sell for $100,000, Gordon Cheers, managing director of the publishing company of Millennium House, told the AFP, and he’s limiting the print run to 31 copies. The tome features massive maps that encompass entire continents as well as sharp images of famous locations.
The Sydney-based publisher debuted the book at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany, which fittingly is also being called the world’s biggest.
