Customer Reviews

Fascinating Voyage of Discovery

Guinness World of Records is a Fascinating Voyage of Discovery to facts, figures, feats and lots more! It's amazing to know about the Greatest, Smallest, Heaviest, Tallest, fastest, first and all about the exceptionally 'The Best of the Best'. As far as I remember, the First US edition appeared in New York in 1956 followed by editions in various languages later like the French, German in around 1962/63 and other editions in Japanese, spanish, etc. taking the flight to more than 250 plus editions in various languages. Indian dish 'Dhosa' by Sankalp in Ahmedabad, as the longest and largest size, is also on the Food Category which itself is Hall of Fame in Guiness World Records with more and more records to amaze us. Another Hotel Crown Plaza from Ahmedabad too, is featured for the Biggest Menu. The Book is divided into Categories on various topics with unique occurences and interesting peculiarities. Watching Guinness World Records on Television & Ripleys is just Great viewing but reading and possessing the Book is a Prize Collection. I recommend such Books as they make a good Useful Book Shelf Possession.

The BEST conversation starter that I know of!

I love to have a copy of the Book of World Records handy when I knkow I may need help starting a comversation. All I have to do is open up the book and start asking questions to someone, like "Hey, guess who was 8 ft. 11.1 in. tall?"Within minutes the ice is broken. Even though I don't always buy a copy every year, I eventually update. I can't stand to be estranged from the current record-holders.--George Stancliffe

very entertaining!

my teacher has the book so me and a few of my friends sat down to read it and we got so in to the book that our 55 minute class felt like a 5 minute class. The catagories are funny,awesome,entertaining and discusting. I love the book so much and I think you ought to give it a look!
