Heavier than a log book but lighter than things written in stone. Nobody knows the exact volume as they're bound to secrecy.

It depends upon the contenet of the tome. Some only have 20 pages, but the content is very hard to digest-ergo small but heavty.
Others have many pages and little to digest - not weighty, just light doggerel.
No definitive answer, sorry

A weighty tome is over a tun

Depends... a skinny little paperback that has an effect on the way you think or see the world - is a very weighty tome indeed!
(Check out "Dark Universe" by Daniel Galouye)
Whereas a huge 6,427 page leather-bound 'yawn-fest' is as nothing!
