The thinness of Bible paper allows books with a large number of pages to remain fairly compact.

Bible paper is a thin grade of paper used for printing books which have a large number of pages. Technically it is called lightweight offset paper and is a type of woodfree uncoated paper. It is used for making Bibles, encyclopedias and dictionaries. This paper grade often contains cotton or linen fibres to increase its strength despite its thinness.
