Bhutan: A Visual Odyssey Across the Last Himalayan Kingdom

The gigantic book BHUTAN is a breathtaking photographic adventure across the legendary last Himalayan kingdom. Teams from MIT and Friendly Planet took over 60,000 photographs on four extensive expeditions. Portraits of people are life-size or bigger. Panoramas convey the staggering sweep of the Great Himalayan Range and the awesome and unique ancient architecture. Tantric Buddhist dancers, clad in a rainbow of sparkling brocade silks, almost seem to be leaping off the page. According to Guinness World Records, at over five by seven feet (and 133 pounds), this beautiful photographic book is the largest published book in the world--about one of the world's smallest countries. More like a giant gallery show in a single volume, Bhutan is breathtaking. BHUTAN comes with a custom-fitted aluminum shelf easel designed and built by Mekatronics, Inc that supports the book in a nearly vertical position.
