Format:Hardcover
The latest edition of the Guinness World Records is as good as ever with more records and statistics than any other in the series. With many bizarre records waiting to be found inside, this book never stops to keep you interested and entertained, the glow-in-the-dark features are also pretty cool with some very funny but also disturbing pictures. All in all a great book for the fact fanatic or anybody with a real interest into the weird and wonderful, wouldn't half make a bad Christmas present either...

Was a present for someone else, I've not had a bad report about it from the person, so it must be ok
