Massive Book Devoted To Obama

AT a thumb-numbing 5,472 pages, a book devoted to the life of Barack Obama is probably not going to be on the US President's list of beach reads, but its Indonesian author is hoping for interest from the White House.

Hailed by Indonesian record keepers as the world's thickest book, "The Collection, Obama and Pluralism," was unveiled by local author, director and artist, Damien Dematra.

At 34-centimeters thick, the hardbound tome chronicles snippets of Obama's life in Jakarta. It includes letters to Obama from students at his former school.
