 Small Facts -- Big Fun! April 6, 2008
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.

 Big,Awkward,Not Nearly The Detailed Info As The Paperbacks! February 17, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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!

Great book - excellent for a gift. Great reading to see just how far some people will go to get their name in print.
