Depending on how you define a book, here is a contender:
Kuthodaw Pagoda (the Largest Book in the world)
This Pagoda is believed to house one of Buddha’s teeth and isn‘t spectacularly awe inspiring. The reason you should pay this pagoda a visit is due to the fact that it houses the Worlds largest book. Not in quantity of pages, but in sheer weight. Each page is a 4ft slab of marble, inscribed on either side. There are 729 of these ‘pages’ laid out over a 4km square area surrounding the pagoda.This large complex of Pagodas each contains marble inscriptions of Buddhist scriptures. Dating back to 1871 when the then King Mindon enlisted the help of 2400 monks in interpreting the entire Tripitaka (Buddhist canon).
