Description

Take a deep breath and dive into the fully updated and revised Guinness World Records 2024 ! This year’s edition compiles the very best of the thousands of new records approved over the past year, confirming once again that the public have an insatiable appetite for superlatives! And with lockdowns and quarantines a distant memory for much of the world, the claims have been flooding in… As you'll see from the cover by award-winning artist Rod Hunt, the theme of year’s book is the Blue Planet, so join us on a deep-sea odyssey to the bottom of the oceans. Encounter the most bizarre, beautiful and deadly sea creatures, swim through the largest coral reefs and kelp forests, explore the seabed for shipwrecks and lost treasure, and meet the ocean’s most fearless pioneers. You’ll also find plenty of new and classic records to explore once you’re back on dry land, with topics as diverse as rollercoasters, robots, movie props and manga. And as ever, you’ll discover the latest record-breaking successes in music, TV, gaming and sports. Review: Fast delivery and cost - Late present for grandson Review: Love it so much I’m buying a second one for myself! - I purchased this for my eight-year-old grandson and the detailed review is in the video. I cannot put the book down. I need to wrap it for a gift! This is an amazing book for both children and adults. There are enough facts in this book to keep an adult engaged and of course pictures always make anyone want to read more. The pictures are gorgeous, very colorful and detailed. It’s the kind of book that you want to just flip through but then when you see something that you like you’ll read it. I am a retired teacher, so I know that the combination of pictures and reading is important. The book really is not a children’s book, but once they start reading, they could get some facts out of it and keep this book for a few years. I know that I had my original Guinness book of records for many years and always referred to it. This is a great coffee table book to give to any adult. This is the latest version, so I’m sure there are facts that were not in last year‘s edition. I’m very happy with this purchase and as I said, I’m going to buy myself one .. Worth every penny.
