Off topic but what's the point of a book that thick other than novelty? Would make much more sense to just separate into volumes

You get books like that for voluminous stuff like parliament debate transcripts for an entire parliamentary term.

They're generally one-off or only a handful printed and kept as archival records.

Almost noone would ever need the physical book, it exists as a physical tome to cite/reference.
