* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'': The three compendiums containing the entire story each hold over a thousand pages, adding up to over three-thousand.

* ''Manga/UndeadUnluck'': As part of the training set by Anno Un, Andy is transformed into a colossal book containing everything about his past that extends up into outer space.



* It could be assumed that higher-level magic tomes (particularly Dark[=/=][[InsistentTerminology Elder]] magic ones) in the ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' games could be an in-game example, since the weight of an equipped weapon (be it sword, axe, lance, bow or tome) may impact on the wielder's speed stat, which affects factors such as their dodge rate and whether or not they can attack twice (all depending on the character's constitution, or physical size). For instance, Canas, your only allied dark magic wielder in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Fire Emblem 7]]'', has a base constitution stat of 8, and the strongest tome he can equip ([[GratuitousGerman Gespenst]]) has a weight stat of 20, meaning that, if equipped, his speed stat will be reduced by '''12''' in battle, which is nearly '''''half''''' of his theoretical maximum speed. To put it this way, the {{BFS}} Durandal has a weight of 16 and the massive axe Armads has 18. Gespent ''beats them both''. In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'', there's another tome, Gleipnir, just as heavy as Gespenst. The wielder would probably deal more damage throwing it at the enemies!

* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'': The Book of Judgement is already ridiculously huge, and grows at an even more ridiculous rate every day until the Emperor outright outlaws the drafting of new laws to put a hasty end to it. [[spoiler:Rogal Dorn's]] severely outdated copy already has a spine bigger than ''he'' is, and he occasionally uses it as a support beam for his various forts. This carries some unnerving implications, considering the parchment in that one is human skin.

* ''WesternAnimation/ClassOf3000'': The required extra credit material of Westley's first year history class is a massive book.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': The Collector's bedtime story book is an outright tower that stretches all the way around the tiny moon he sleeps on, though this is Played With as the pages appear to be made of stone tablets, so the actual contents of the book are likely to be rather reasonable in length despite the presentation being rather absurd.



* In Series/WaltDisneyPresents "Inside Outer Space", Ludwig von Drake presents his really large book about space with the same name.

* WebVideo/QuintonReviews's series about the Series/NickVerse, which are very deep dives about the whole content of certain series. Although the first videos were already longer than feature length, it hit notoriety with an 8-hours long video about ''Series/{{Victorious}}''. The series of videos as of his latest video ("The Collapse of Sam & Cat") is over 43 hours of content.
* The viral "Who TF Did I Marry?" series of [=TikTok=] videos. The videos are a woman retelling her real life experience dating, marrying, and ultimately divorcing a pathological liar. For a platform that prioritizes short-form content, each video is unusually long for the platform and all the videos together make up for almost 8 hours of videos.
