Odd-Sized Books

[BRENDA WUNDER <bwunder@HOME.COM>]

And we thought we had problems...

The smallest book in the Library of Congress is Old King Cole. It is
1/25" x 1/25", or about the size of the period at the end of this
sentence. The pages can only be turned with the use of a needle.

The largest book in the Library of Congress is John James Audubon's
Birds
of America, containing many life-size illustrations of birds. The book
is
39.37" (1 meter) high.
