Mr. Malik Moore strolled into the Central Library in downtown Atlanta last week, and found the world's largest book.

"I was astonished when I first saw it," said Moore. Bhutan weighs 133 pounds, (60.32 kilograms), and stands 5' (1.52 meters tall).

Acme Bookbinding and Friendly Planet published the record setting tome to honor the tiny and fascinating country of Bhutan. The book is on display for the rest of this year.

Next to this cheerful creature is a dedication for the book that says in part, 'May epidemics, famine and violence subside in the countries around the world, flourishing peace and happiness, may good fortune and good luck abound.' (Mary Silver/The Epoch Times)
