Guinness World Records™, known until 2000 as The Guinness Book of Records, is a reference book published annually, containing a collection of world records, both human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. The book itself holds a world record, as the best-selling copyrighted book series of all time. It is also one of the most frequently stolen books from public libraries in the United States
This is an amusing book. A great mixture of human feats and various records. Great layout and design throughout. My only grouse is there’s too many records that have no merit. Any records that includes “did ___ times in ____ minutes” sucks eggs. I’ll set the record for most anvils dropped on my foot in 30 minutes if it gets me in the book.

I found this book fascinating, especially the section about pop culture and human history. Honestly, the only reason it got a four instead of five was that the content was overly repetitive and there was not much new content in the book. Still, it is made up of fascinating visuals and eye-catching facts.
Read one of these after so many years. Started the year with some random knowledge of what us crazy humans think are ‘records’ worth documenting lol. Didn’t feel as fascinated by the records as I used to earlier but still, it’s mostly interesting.
It's alright but it does get quite repetitive and boring after a while. It's definitely a must if you're interested in world records although, in my opinion, the Ripley's annuals are much better. 3 Stars
It's really fun and interesting but some of the records are little strange. But I love the addition of the barcode to watch YouTube videos. It's really fun looking things up.
