A must have book! November 10, 2006
I love this book because it has lots of pictures and a mind-boggling list of feats in ever imaginable category! It's a great book to just have lying around! No other records book comes close! This is a must have book!

I especially like the machinery and sports because it has a lot of information about breaking records. The only thing I don't like is there is only a little bit about each subject.
My daughter loved it! March 22, 2006

My 10 year old daughter loved the book! She was amazed at all the facts and photos. Great gift for anyone!
An essential reference tool. March 14, 2006
Whilst some readers will always buy the latest edition of this book because they are interested in the largest, tallest, fastest or whatever, personally I have always found this book to be a first class reference source.
It was from the Guinness Book of records that I learned that the largest Turtle known to man was a giant Leatherback Turtle which (to my great surprise) was washed up on the shores of Ireland - and "not" some Caribbean country as one might expect.
Of course, not all the records are repeated from one edition into the next or each book would be identical except for any new records achieved during the past 12 months. For this reason, the reader might need to collect a few editions of the book in order to have as good a collection of records as possible.
Just a few loose thoughts really.
