The world's largest book!

Wow. You sometimes stumble upon the weirdest things when you're cruising the intertubes.

It's 7x5 FEET, "...it is printed with a gallon of ink on a roll of paper longer than a football field. The printing process takes an entire 24 hours for each copy. It weighs 133 pounds..." It's $10,000 a copy, and the money is donated to a charity of the author's choice.

I would LOVE to see this some day!
