World's Smallest Book.

Posted by Alex in Book & Lit, World Records on March 5, 2007 at 2:03 am


MIT professor Pawan Sinha got the idea for writing the world’s smallest book from a dream while taking a nap during a boring session at a scientific conference:

The New Testament of the King James Bible reproduced on a five-millimeter tablet by MIT Professor Pawan Sinha and two colleagues is listed as the smallest printed book reproduction in the 2003 Guinness Book of World Records. By comparison, "Lincoln," smallest book in the MIT Archives, contains four speeches by Abraham Lincoln in 160 pages of 2-point type (1/36th of an inch high).
