What has been claimed to be the world's largest book has been published. It's 21,540 pages long.
The book in question is an "all-in-one" edition of the manga comic One Piece, which at time of writing consists of 102 single volumes. The "all-in-one" edition is the work of Greek-Belgian artist Ilan Manouach, who has created 50 copies as an artwork called ONEPIECE (without the space because his version is just one long book), and says it is: "the materialization of an ecosystem saturated by media." All 50 copies have been sold already, selling for €1,900 each.

What about "Googolplex Written Out" by Wolfgang Nitsche? I'm fairly sure that was mentioned on Qi somewhere. |

I think ONEPIECE is the largest book in the sense the it is "all-in-one". If you look at the pictures of it, it is one very long book, combining all the volumes, which would be impossible to do with Googolplex Written Out - you can only get that in individual volumes. |

The human genome in book form, as seen in the Wellcome Collection on a QI meet up.

What does it say about me that I didn't actually remember that until you posted the picture, but do remember the antique Japanese sex toy set in minute detail?

No comment required, methinks.
