For local authors, presses, or literary organizations who are interested in exhibiting, please submit a 2018 Evanston Literary Festival Book Fair Application by April 20, 2018.

The Biggest Book Ever

October 12, 2010

The world’s record for the largest book was just broken last week at the  Frankfurt Book Fair on October 6, 2010. An Australian publisher decided to shift the focus away from all the micro-media and printed an enormous atlas which measures 6 by 9 feet and sells for a mere $100,000. (Apparently it is very good quality.) He claims that the last time a book almost this size was printed was in 1660 as a gift for Charles II of England!
