 This huge book was made by scientist Michael Hawley and is one of the eleven models available worldwide.

 Called “Giant visual odyssey through the Kingdom of Bhutan”, the book has a height of 1.52 meters and a length of 2.13 meters and weighs about 60 kilograms. In its 112 pages, the book offers stunning and high quality images of the Last Himalayan Kingdom, taken on four trips through Bhutan. The entire book requires 1 gallon of ink and 1 day to be printed and the total costs are nearly $2000.

 The Giant Books sells for $10.000 and all the money is donated to various charity institutions.
