 Small Facts -- Big Fun! April 6, 2008
D. Reed (Tennessee)
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.

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