Bhutan is a small mountainous country blessed with scenic beauty. This tiny country can now boast of being the subject of the world’s largest book. The world’s largest book is a collection of photos from this tiny country and is titled Bhutan: A Visual Odyssey Across the Kingdom. It measures about 5 feet wide and about seven feet long.
At about 133 pounds, it can kill if it fell over your head. MIT Scientist Michael Hawley wrote this book in order to fund the education of the Bhutanese children. In spite of being a beautiful country, there are tourist restrictions and thus has contributed to the poverty there. The book costs $30, 000 and I am sure you would love to get this book in your shelf, if it is big enough.

Rev John Hall, the Dean at the Westminster Abbey briefed Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles about building the corona on top of England’s most famous church. The project is going to cost about 10 million pounds and is something that would need public approval for a “go-ahead”. In a plan to redevelop Westminster Abbey, a further 13 million pounds have been sought and this comes at a time of celebration of the diamond jubilee of the Queen’s coronation in June 2013.
Princes Diana and Queen mother have been laid in the premises and is one of the most significant places in England. However, many people might oppose the construction of a corona as that would change the look of the abbey. Many people may not be ready to spend so much of tax-payer’s money on the renovation either.
