6 People Needed To Turn Book Page: Today In Books

6 People Needed To Turn Book Page

The world’s largest handmade book is located in a village in Hungary with less than 300 people, Szinpetri, and 6 people and a machine are needed to turn a page. That’s a big book! The creator of the book, Béla Varga, said “It’s unique not only because of the size but because of the techniques: it was made like ancient codes, with wooden tables from Sweden and with the leather of 13 cows from Argentina.”

And The Grammy Goes To:

Michelle Obama! Her memoir Becoming won for Best Spoken Word Album. All the congratulations–and if you haven’t gotten to this one yet, it really is worth all the hype its gotten.

And More Congratulations!

The American Library association awarded the 2020 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction to Lost Children Archive by Valeria Luiselli and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction to Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham. So many excellent books to read, I need more reading time!
