A limited edition of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple fiction is said to have the thickest spine in bookdom, "measuring over a foot long, with 4,032 pages." Long? Wide? Deep? Whatever. Only 500 copies.

How does one open and read this tome? I can't picture curling up with it in my favorite chair.
Follow the link in the post: there's a photograph of a woman reading (or pretending to read). It seems that you need a bench. : )
Well, she's wearing pearls, heels, and white gloves to sit outside on a bench and read an unwieldy book. Who made this ad, the Kindle people?
A few buttons on the sides, and it might make a pretty good bandoneon.
Hah! This is 5,000 pages: http://www.rob-matthews.com/index.php?/project/wikipedia/.
Matt, that must be "artist's concept," no?
I like the bike and the Crayola boxes a lot.
