Book Reviews of Guinness World Records 2008 (Guinness World Records)
Book Review: Small Facts -- Big Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
This record book is the best that Guiness has put out. Full of large pictures, some that fold out, and more detailed explanations of the feats that are considered world records. Granted, some records are serious and important. Some, however are just silly and intertaining. This is definitely the book for the person who loves to know all the arcane things.
