Philip K. Dick was known for taking a cocktail of amphetamines and psychedelics and then locking himself in his study and writing an entire book while high as balls.

There is no way they are that tall. They are all shorter than their male counterparts and most guys are not over six feet tall. If she were six feet that means gaston or prince adam were fucking giants.

even then she is not "twice a book". About 3.3 of the bigger books (the ones on the bottom shelf to the right). and about 4-4.5 times the size of a smaller book.

Which is a normal size of a cartoon book. The books would be about 1'3" to 1'8. A good sized encyclopedia or cartography book would be about the larger size and anything else would be normal for cartoon.
