My kids love these books! They will often take them out and look up interesting facts. They are amazed by some of the crazy oddities that Guinness features. Its great for them to play trivia games with in the car.

This is full of facts and records, but it would be lice to less writing on them and more, larger photos about them.

This record book is the best that Guiness has put out. Full of large pictures, some that fold out, and more detailed explanations of the feats that are considered world records. Granted, some records are serious and important. Some, however are just silly and intertaining. This is definitely the book for the person who loves to know all the arcane things.

I got this from my library,and was so dissapointed! The book is so big and awkward to hold,and the info is no where near as detailed as I remember the paperback editions being. They can keep their 'Glow In The Dark' issue,I'm not the least bit interested in this direction,these formerly great books are now headed.
I wouldn't want this book if it was given to me free,let alone consider buying it!
