2.0 out of 5 stars Buy the Hardcover version, August 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Guinness Book of World Records 1999 (Guinness World Records) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book needs no introduction. Be warned though that the mass-market paperback version is simply appalling - the book is small, and the tiny text is printed on thin, low quality paper - making it impossible to sit back and enjoy. Unfortunately none of the other reviews mentioned this before I ordered it.

5 stars for the hardcover edition - but stay away from this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for young children, April 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Guinness Book of World Records 1999 (Guinness World Records) (Mass Market Paperback)

Unfortunately, the published Guinness has gone the way of the Fox television show. Parents, be advised that many of the records and accompanying photographs are not suitable for children. A shame really, as this is a perennial kid's favourite.

3.0 out of 5 stars IT WAS POINTLESS, BUT INTERESTING, June 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Guinness Book of World Records 1999 (Guinness World Records) (Mass Market Paperback)

I think the book was pointless. It didn't teach us anything or give us anything to reflect on. The reason I did not give it one star was because it was not bad, it just wasn't particularly good.
