What’s the shortest book in the world?

“The Even Prime Numbers”

which basically has one page which says the number “2”, followed by “The End”. Well, researchers in the US have made the book a whole lot shorter with the discovery of weaknesses in using “2” as a prime number, and have stumbled upon a major flaw in the usage of public key encryption on many devices.
