It was made  at SFU by publisher Robert Chaplin, with SFU scientists Li Yang and  Karen Kavanagh, using a focused-gallium-ion beam and electron  microscopes. Unlike the previous record holders which were versions of the bible  etc, the book has an ISBN: ISBN-978-1-894897-17-4, and, is a fable about  Teeny Ted’s victory in the turnip contest at the annual county fair. And… you can actually buy it: “Considered an intricate work of contemporary art, the book is  available in a signature edition (100 copies) from the publisher,  through the SFU lab.”</blockquote>
