Do you have bad eyesight and a fascination with the Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan? Then you're in luck!

Friendly Planet and MIT teamed up and took more than 60,000 photographs of ancient architecture, panoramas of the Great Himalayan Range, and life-size or bigger portraits of the inhabitants of this grand Himalayan kingdom for their book Bhutan: A Visual Odyssey Across the Last Himalayan Kingdom. Guinness World Records cites this ginormous book as "the largest published book in the world — about one of the world's smallest countries." It's over five-by-seven feet and 133 pounds. Nifty, but only if you have an even bigger coffee table on which to display it.
