Yes, all POD, even so called Hardback is much more limited on number of pages than conventional print runs (which can maybe be as low as 100, but you pay up front, inc setup costs).
Also POD with more than US Letter size, or A4, or the Letter Width plus A4 length is very rare. Obviously larger pages, smaller margins and a smaller font helps.
But also POD might not do smaller fonts as well as a real print run. KDP is 7 pt minimum, but actual size per font varies and we've found that 8 pt is a practical lower limit.
So Bible type printing or a boxed set of volumes. I'd actually like to get the commonly available bibles in volumes. Not actually 66 books, but more than six books.
For years (since 1960s) I only had LOTR as one volume. I was delighted to get a present this year of it in three volumes, though they are rather heavy Folio Society editions.
