What's The Shortest Book You've Ever Seen/ Read?

Question

I'm looking @ a book that's 60 pages long by French author Marguerite Dura. It's called the Malady Of Death, published by Groves Press, NYC.in '86. It's fiction and the print is HUGE LOL to stretch it to 60 pages, I imagine. http://books.google.com/books?id=lNjvO2T…

So I guess a book can be ANY length and get published? What about you? Have you seen/read any books like these, especially for adult fiction & non fiction? I know there are kids books of this length and cell phone novels.

Additional Details

Not a first time publisher. Don't worry about length, you need a book first.

Okay, my "novella" is less than 100 pages. I just wonder if I'd have a chance to get such a short piece published in book form like the 60 page novella by Marguerite Duras called The Malady Of Death. Thank you to everyone who responded!
