What is the thickest book?

Question

I have ridden many books in my Tibia history, but I never thought about which one is the thickest (longest)?

What is the title? How many words does it contain? Where to find it?

And last, did You enjoy reading it? :)

Answer 1

Using some JSON + javascript and the tibia.wikia.com API i was able to get all books from tibia, or so to say, from wikia. 

Total of 1007 books/documents that are listed in wikia. 

Result of that script can be found at my website: 

All books from wikia by elkolorado

#edit (2023):
I've made the books into website, where you can search for keywords:
Tibia Libraries by Elkolorado | elkolorado.github.io/tibialibraries

This idea has been later expanded by s2w/cony, and he managed to obtain more books from various wikias, along with other engine to search for npc transcripts:
Tales of Tibia | LibSearch
Tales of Tibia | Npc Transcription Search

For raw data refer to s2w/tibia github

Meantime I made other website,
Tibia Nodes by Elkolorado | tibia-nodes.vercel.app
that show network graph of npc mentioning eachother, with an ability to add keywords and it connections to the graph, and ideally filtering them by location/update (as shown example 1|2) It is at development still, but you can play with it. Clicking on NPC node show his transcription.

To make the term "longest" I determined that we gonna search for the maximum characters per book.

Then, using simple sorting I was able to tell that the longest/thickest book ever in Tibia is:

The_Amazons_Vol.3_(Book)

Contaning total of 3968 characters.

Or 673 words.

You can find it in library in Carlin, below the Tibra temple, west of depot.

So to say, I made top10 list of longest books in Tibia. (Book - Characters)

The_Amazons_Vol.3_(Book)	3968
The_Complete_and_Unabridged_Story_of_the_Three_Wizards_(Book)	3930
The_Hive_II_(Book)	3854
The_Amazons_Vol.1_(Book)	3849
The_Hive_IV_(Book)	3826
The_Dark_Woman_I_(Book)	3791
V._ii,_The_Age_of_Chaos_(Book)	3754
The_Rise_of_the_Pumpkin_(Book)	3737
Mahatheb_the_Vizier_(Book)	3731

Then to make it closed, the shortest book ever in Tibia is:

Goldfinger_(Book)

Contaning just the text Goldfinger making it 10 character long.

Good Job! :) I am inspired by this answer. Maybe I gonna collect all Tibia books, gather them in my house and open my own library? That's the plan!

The books have been renamed on TibiaWiki some time ago to match the standards, if someone with Edit privileges could update the answer it would be great. https://tibia.fandom.com/wiki/The_Amazons_III_(Book)
