Guinness World Records 2023

Loved these as a kid and had to get one for my daughter, for Christmas! Fun book for kids.

Bought this to keep at home for when our grandchildren (ages 7-9) visit. They pore over it during downtime or early in the morning when they wake up before us. So much to learn here, and with great illustrations/explanations for all ages.

A fun book for trivia lovers.

Was a gift for a friend. She enjoys these every year!

My kids got this as a gift and they love it. They are constantly looking through it and telling me weird, random facts. Very fun!

This was a big hit with my grandson! I used to get one of these books every year as a child and couldn’t wait to go through it and see all the world records for the year. I remember the long fingernails in my books back in the day, but this one has like 6 different people with extra long fingernails. We leafed through it together and learned a lot. I like that it groups together some things from specific areas of the world.

Lots and lots of records crammed into too few pages. TBH though many of the records listed are just "stupid" records anyway. Ones that no one cares about unless they like making fun of "freaks with long fingernails, etc.". I'd rather see fastest man/woman, highest leaper, highest fall while surviving, and other cool things that take real skill. Largest ball of yarn isn't a noteworthy record in my book.

I used to buy one of these books every year as a kid starting in 1992. I started with two paperback copies of the 92 and 93 Guinness World Book of Records. Then when I got out of school I quit purchasing them. I've lost all my other copies though so I'll have to repurchase them eventually. It's a fun book just to pass time when your bored or trying to kill time.
