Great Book Last Great Edition!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I previously enjoyed the Guiness Book of World Records for many years, in bed before sleep marveling at the fattest human beings, the longest fingernails, toenails, moustaches etc. Long about 1980, the accountants got to Guiness. Instead of publishing the paperback with thousands of entries, Guiness instead started publishing a slick and thin "gift book" with only a few catagories. Gone are the days of page upon page of wonderful facts about our ability to measure and compare things. If you wish to own the last REAL Guiness Book of World Records, then this is the one.
Interesting!

I love the full color pictures - as Guinness books go, this is one of the best in my opinon. It's broken down into different subjects - science, history, the human body, etc. Recomended!
