I found this impossibly pint-sized edition of
War and Peace in a used bookstore & couldn't resist it. It's the Maude translation, on 1,700 pages of thin India paper, printed in 1957 by Oxford University Press.
The text includes an introduction, endnotes & 3 fold-out maps. The binding is fragile & cracking, but no pages seem to be detached or missing. Now one of the smallest books in my library is also one of the longest.
