Book Description

Guinness Book of Records (Mass Market) May 1, 2007
The 2007 edition of the world’s most popular book offers yet another awesome collection of the most incredible feats on Earth. From the greatest adventurers, athletes, medical marvels, and natural—and unnatural—wonders on the planet, to a host of new celebrity record holders in the realm of entertainment, here are thousands of new or updated records, plus countless fascinating facts in every possible area. Did you know . . .

The world’s oldest mom is Adriana Emilia Iliescu of Romania. At 66 years and 230 days old, she gave birth by Caesarean section to a daughter, at the Clinical Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Bucharest.

George W. Bush’s second inauguration as president of the United States of America was the most costly ever. Estimated spending for the three-day event was $40 million.

And that’s just a hint of what’s inside this extraordinary book. Discover which two long-standing, classic records have finally been broken—and by whom. Enjoy Guinness World Record’s exclusive interviews and stunning photos—and even learn how to become a record breaker yourself. Who knows, you might make it into next year’s book. . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars This book remains an essential reference tool., May 6, 2007

This review is from: Guinness World Records 2007 (Guinness Book of Records (Mass Market)) (Mass Market Paperback)
The best bit about taking delivery of the latest edition of "Guinness World Records" is the discovery of new information about the largest, tallest, fastest or whatever. As with every new edition of this book, many records from previous editions are removed in order to provide space for those which are included for the very first time. In other words, this is not an up-dated version of Guinness World Records 2006 to which a few more records have been added. This is a new book.

Every edition of Guinness World Records will always remain an excellent reference source - but you will need several editions to be certain of finding exactly what it is you require.

On the other hand, if you are simply curious about records, there are many in this particular edition that were never intended. Whilst it might be every Athlete's intention to break the world record in his or her particular discipline, it was never intended that a certain person would have an entry in this book because their's was the skull from which the largest ever object was removed. Gruesome? No, not at all. Fascinating? Yes, most definitely.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Biggest, Smallest, Fastest, And Slowest, April 22, 2010
"Guinness World Records 2007" is the annual reference to extremes in any aspect of life. Whether you are interested in The World's Longest Wheelchair Basketball Game (26 hours, 3 minutes at the University of Nebraska-Omaha) or the Fish With the Most Eyes (the six-eyed spookfish, Bathylychnops exilis,) this book has most any superlative you could ever want to know packaged in a single, glossy book.

Of course, most of this information is utterly pointless, but if you find yourself needing to know that the fastest time to peel and eat a lemon is 46.53 seconds (by Robert Mark Burns of London, England,) this is the book with the information you need.
