5.0 out of 5 stars The three I'm most recommend, 23 Nov 2007
By Bellhop Bob (Gloucestershire and environs) - See all my reviews
I'd have to recommend three great books for Christmas this year, with GUINESS WORLD RECORDS 2008 topping my list (this five minutes anyway). The other two would be DON'T STOP ME NOW and DO ANTS HAVE ARSEHOLES? which are funny and would make wonderful stocking stuffers.

The usual fare is here in the GUINESS, but there's some new elements that will surprise you as people are constantly coming up with something to break that hasn't been tried, or an attempt to break an old record.

But the biggest selling point for this book is the glow-in-the-dark features. With behind the scenes "footage" this makes for one heck of a Christmas gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book as Usual, 10 Oct 2007
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...
