In 1978, the story of Three Blind Mice was brought out in a book scarcely larger than the average letter on this page!
The book, the smallest bound book ever produced, was just 1/12 of an inch high, 1/12 of an inch wide, and only 1/32 of an inch thick.
The largest single book ever produced was the Super Book, which measured nine feet in height and, when opened spanned a distance of more than ten feet!
When it was printed in Denver, Colorado, in 1976, it weighed 557 pounds!
