The world’s largest atlas, Earth Platinum, is now on display in the Mitchell Library Reading Room until Monday 10 March.
The 128-page atlas weighs 150 kilograms and there are only 31 copies in the world.
More than 100 international cartographers, geographers and photographers went into the making of the book.
The book was conceived at Millennium House, a specialist book publisher in Sydney, and was printed in Italy and bound in Hong Kong.
