    Hey all, im after buying jumbo sized books for interiors, like coffee tables or if large enough to stand in a corner.

    Ive scoured the net and cant seem to find anywhere to ask so id thought id try you guys.

    The book can be about anything with full page glossy photos of Tattoos or buildings, graphic design pics, wierd photos anything really just aslong as the book is huge.

    Would you guys have any suggestions where i could get such books from? on the net or shop? Or a webpage that would be good for asking ?

    Thanks

    I remember we had an art exhibition in school with all kinds of giant objects. Even a pencil and book as big as a human.
    The thing is this art form has a name, but it's so long ago I forgot the name ( ok I was never paying attention in school :eek:).
    If you know the name of this art form I'm sure it will be a lot easier to find what your looking for.

    I researched some and all i can finf out is that the larger books are called folio.

    Different folio names correspond to the larger sizes largest being elephant double folio. One was sold for 7.1 million.

    A little out from my budget im afraid lol

    I was much more interested in this thread when I first misread the tit-le.
