24-c gold book may break record

An Indian school teacher is hoping to break the record for the world’s smallest book with his 24-c gold bound autobiography of Mahatma Ghandi. The book, measuring just 33mm by 46mm, is part of Nikunj Vagadia’s collection of miniature books, which is the largest in the world according to the Indian Express. As well as the gold bound autobiography of Ghandi, Mr Vagadia owns miniature versions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the Bhagvad Gita and a further 258 minute versions of other books that he has produced himself. The collection ranges in size from 19mm by 27mm to 47mm by 55mm and is categorised into 17 different sections diamond grade.Mr Vagadia says that his passion for collection miniature books helps to serve his aim of spreading peace, non-violence, brotherhood and love.A Liberian gold coin, measuring approximately 11mm in diameter, is described by its issuers as the world’s smallest gold coin.
