Anyone who has taken English Literature at university likely knows very well the Norton Anthology of English Literature. Published across multi-volumes, the anthology is known for its tissue-thin pages (probably uses something similar to Bible stock) and the fact they're able to cram a lot of pages into a relatively thin package. I have two Nortons that are both well north of 2,200 pages each, with this edition from 1986 holding the record, at 2,578 pages, as the thickest single book I own in terms of page count.

Does anyone have a book with a higher page count? The "rule" is it must be a single physical book, either paperback or hardcover. As is the case with my Norton, which is actually Volume 2 (Volume 1 is about the same size, as I recall), it can be a single volume in a set, or it can be a standalone.
