Synopsis

Review

From the "Most Downloaded Woman on the Internet" to the "Most Valuable Piece of Madonna Clothing", Guinness World Records 2000 is a shiny departure from former editions. With florescent inside flaps, rainbow-colour coding and hundreds of glossy photos, this glitzy guide has come along way since its inception in 1955. A year earlier, The underbrewer at Guinness thought it would be a good idea to have a book that would answer trivia questions commonly asked at pubs. So, with the help of two record-breaking athletes and their fact-finding agency, The Guinness Book of World Records was born. However, traditionalists be warned: The new-fangled version might be enjoyed most by those under the legal-drinking age. --Susan Queue
