The world's most authoritative family reference. The Guinness Book of Records itself holds the record for being the world's bestselling copyrighted book! The 1999 edition highlights all of the current record-holders for events common (the largest single auto plant in the world belongs to Volkswagen) and strange (the "human arrow" Ariana was fired 75 feet from a crossbow); funny (Fabian Pretou, 6'2" married Natalie Lucius, 3'1") and macabre (Jed Shaner was covered by a mantle of 343,000 bees!). From unknown people to famous (Michael Jordan, Kenny G, Jerry Seinfeld), this book has them all!

5.0 out of 5 stars
An informative book that will amaze you for hours.,
By Braved4843@aol.com (High Dessert, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Guinness Book of Records, 1999 (Guinness World Records) (Hardcover)
Guinness books have been around for many, many years. I admit, out of all the many editions, this edition of Guinness is by far the best I've seen so far. Every page is full of detailed pictures and colorful artwork! The book has interesting topics, along with a detailed picture to go along with it. Every category is filled with fun facts that will draw you to the book every spare moment you have. I urge you to go to your local bookstore and buy it if you haven't already. Also if you can find them, by now they are probably sold out. Hurry, I promise you won't be let down.

This is a cool book. I have not found a single book in the world that is quite like this. If you are interested in seeing everything that's the biggest, fastest, etc, this book is a must have.
