The front and back covers each have a thickness of 5 mm, so together they add 5 + 5 = <<5+5=10>>10 mm.
Since every 25 pages add 1 mm to the thickness, we divide the number of pages (600) by 25 to find out how many millimeters the pages will add: 600 / 25 = <<600/25=24>>24 mm.
In total, the pages will add 24 mm to the thickness.
Adding the thickness of the covers to the thickness added by the pages, the book will be 10 + 24 = <<10+24=34>>34 mm thick. Answer: \boxed{34}.
The thickness of a book is determined by the thickness of its cover and its pages. The front and back covers of most books are each about 5 mm thick and every 25 pages adds an additional millimeter to the thickness. How thick would a 600 page book be? Round to 2 decimal places
