The Klencke Atlas is the largest book in the world. The 350-year-old book of maps will go on public display for the first time ever with its pages open, as part of the British Library's exhibition "Magnificent Maps: Power, Propaganda, and Art" in April.

You can read more about the Atlas in this Guardian article.
