List of largest books by page count

This page provides lists of the largest/thickest single-volume books to date both published and unpublished. This list does not include works that span over more than one volume, such as À la recherche du temps perdu, which is regarded as the longest novel ever written.[citation needed]

Records indicate that Guinness World Records began taking in "thickest book" nominations in 2009, where The Complete Miss Marple held the title with 4,032 pages.[1] In 2013, Danish dictionary Verdens Største Ordbog won the title for "Thickest Unpublished Book," with a page count of 89,471.[2]

According to Guinness World Records, as of 2023, World-2023 ESN Publications and London Organisation of Skills Development Ltd is the thickest book ever to have been physically produced, with a page count of 100,100.[3] Guinness also credits Shree Haricharitramrut Sagar as being the longest book to ever be published with a page count of 10,080.[4] However, this particular record has been surpassed by the unofficial single-volume compilation of Onepiece, with a total page count of 21,540.[5]
