At the British Library it takes six people to hoist up the largest book in the world, the Klencke Atlas. The 350 year old tomb given to King Charles II has never been seen with its pages open by the public. It's about to go on display very soon. Read more.
Happy First Day of February. Enjoy your Monday. Rosemary

This was a great story! I love old books and this one is no exception! I never knew there was a book so big! :) Thank you for sharing & I love your blog, Rosemary. A lovely spot indeed you have on the net! Have a Happy Day!
LOVE old maps, I wish the Dutch would sail up the Potomac and present me with a fabulous book like this. I would be royally happy with one much smaller, say 18" X20". I'm sure they don't realize that I'm a very important Queen.
I would love to see this exhibit!
