This book is 12 feet long, 10 feet wide and contains 1,000 pages, but it's not the biggest book in the world according to Guiness. It is, however, the biggest book on peace in the world.
The book was written by students of Groton-Dunstable Regional Middle School over a period of 7 years. It's titled "Big Book: Pages for Peace". Writing it was fairly easy as the students wrote to people around the world asking three 'simple' questions: What is world peace? Will there ever be world peace? Where would you like to see the world in 20 years? The answers became the nucleus of the 1,000 pages of the book. 1,300 people responded, including the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, professional skateboarder Tony Hawk, Jimmy Carter, and Senator Edward M. Kennedy.
