Guinness World Records 2020 Hardcover – Digital, September 3, 2019

2020 World Record Book Came On Time And In Great Condition ,Thanks !!

Perfect condition

When my son told me to buy this book, I hesitated since it is just a Guinness records. I bought about 3 books at the same time, including Dogman. Surprisingly he spent much more time on this book. With curiosity, I started to read on some pages and found it is a Wikipedia. No wonder! I probably will buy another copy for the records of 2021 and compare the records :)

My grandson's 2017 edition of this book was falling apart and I wasn't willing to pay $25 for the 2021 edition. We bought this 2020 edition for $15 and he is thrilled. He carries this book with him when we go out (hairdresser yesterday) and reads aloud to anyone who will listen.

Just as I remember ye olde "Guinness BWR" from my childhood - this tome is PACKED with FASCINATING iNFO - the THINGS PEOPLE CAN DO - Wow! I am super happy I bought this book - belongs in every Library - just to know Man's quirky nature, and What we are CAPABLE OF DOING, when we put our zany minds to it! Don't miss!

I remember pouring over the old black and white almanac-sized Guinness Books when I was a kid, wondering who was the biggest, fastest, oldest etc. This slick coffee-table-sized hard cover is great for kids to study and filled with full color photos for them to check out the various sensations, achievements and oddities.My only gripe is that as world records have become a business some trivial ones appear. Guinness World Records merged with Ripley's Believe It or Not in 2008 and makes a good business charging fees to certify 'records'. The person with the most Marvel character tattoos? Seriously? Things like this, and the pages of video game records make the book feel like it's filled with product placement (which it may well be).But still, it's the kind of fun stuff that kids enjoy reading and can pick up at their leisure.

This is a Christmas present, but I looked through it first to make sure it met my expectations. There is so much in it that he won't get bored with it and there will always be something new to discover. I'm sure he will like it.

We gave this to our 9 year old great nephew. He loves it. When I worked in a library, this title was the "most often left lying on a table" in the whole library. That tells you something. Everyone loves it, from 9 to 99.
