MACMILLAN Guinness World Records 2018

I've bought this for my 8 year old nephew for christmas as I don't think he's ever seen one before and he's about the right age to be amazed by a lot of the records and photos inside.Love the cover! Metallic 3D effect front and back - looks great. It's a good size - a big book in little hands and 255 pages (the last page is just an advert). It's as interesting as I remember it and that is 'even' taking the internet into consideration!Inside we are met with punchy facts/records - great photographs and visuals like infographics/graphs/tables.The GB of R has moved with the times here and we see subjects such as body modification - 3D printing and pollution and environment.Here's a quick look at the contents . . .EarthTallestAnimalsFastestSuperhumansLongestSuperheroesHeaviestRecordmaniaYoungestAdventuresHighestSocietyHighest EarningArts and MediaOldestSci-Tech and EngineeringMost ExpensiveTransportSmallestSportsEach topic has several sub sections and is jam packed with interesting facts - figures - graphs and photos.I've loved having a quick mooch through this book before santa wraps it! Very pleasantly surprised.

My son loves this books. It's the best way to stimulate boys to read factual books, as it has fun, interesting topics that are illustrated so they are not all just pure text, which puts boys off reading. This is an annual priority on my sons Christmas present list. A lovely read for boys especially and an ideal way to stimulate boys to read independently. He fully recommends it for all children.

GBWR getting back to the old format of a few years ago, easy to read and far better than recent editions. Well done Guinness publishing.

Bought two as gifts and it really is a superb product which I'm sure will be well received.....

I buy this every year for my niece for christmas, its a good quality book, always arrives quickly and well packaged
