An ambitious Massachusetts teacher and a group of students said they are preparing to construct the world's biggest book.

Groton-Dunstable Regional Middle School teacher Betsy Sawyer and the Bookmakers and Dreamers Club plan to surpass the Guinness record by making a text larger than the current record-holding 9-foot-wide, 10-foot-high, 557-pound book in Denver, The Boston Globe reported Sunday.

Sawyer said Pages for Peace will be 12 feet by 10 feet, possibly weigh in at a hefty 2,000 pounds and cost about $500,000 to print.

It is reported Sawyer and her students have been tackling the challenge of simply finding somewhere to store the giant book.

This book is happening this year -- I know it, Sawyer said. Someone's got to have the space to build this thing.

Sawyer told the newspaper she thinks the book should eventually be taken on a tour to celebrate her students' determination for spreading peace.
