Not What I Expected, 31 Dec 2010
By Amber - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Guinness World Records 2004 (Guinness Book of Records (Mass Market)) (Mass Market Paperback)
Although it is the 2004 addition of the Guinness Book of World Records it was not what i expected. I was looking for a full sized, hard back but what i ended up getting was one around the size of a romance novel and about twice as thick. But I do not blame this on the product. I blame myself for not looking into it enough and wanting a cheap deal. Other wise the product was perfect.
Listmania!
