World's largest photo book

by Leonard Goh |
We have absolutely no idea what mode of transport was used to ferry this gargantuan photo album for display.

Measuring 4 x 3m, this 53-page book weighs 1,000kg. Titled Women of Vietnam, this book is the brainchild of Japanese photographer Hitomi Toyama. Currently on display in Hanoi, Vietnam, it got itself a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the world's largest photo album. The book cover probably took up a quarter of the weight.

It requires two people to flip a page, and you probably have to stand 10m away to fully appreciate the beauty of the pictures. While we like big picture books, this one is too much of a good thing and will definitely not make it to the top of our "what to grab in case of fire" list.
