Synopsis:

A celebration of the nuttiness and obsessives in all of us, "RecordSetter" is the new world record - setting phenomenon, a website that believes everyone can be the world's best at something - and where 80,000 people a month come to prove it, or just enjoy watching. Corey Henderson and Dan Rollman, the creators of "RecordSetter", are two entrepreneurs obsessed by world records. "The RecordSetter Book of World Records" captures all the exuberance, energy, and quirky good humour of the records and record-setters. Here are more than 300 of the longest, loudest, slowest, weirdest, coolest, and most-difficult-to-break world records. There are Food & Drink Records. Sports & Games Records. Records set by (not-so) average Joes, and records set by celebrities ("Most Bunnies Snuggled in a Hammock" by Cameron Diaz).

About the Author: Corey Henderson is a cofounder of RecordSetter.com. Corey is an entrepreneur who's been working in web development since 1997, and proudly holds the world record for Most Fiery Crashes in One Game of Pole Position. Corey lives with his family in New York City. Dan Rollman is the cofounder of RecordSetter.com. Dan is a lifelong world-record fanatic who tried in college, unsuccessfully, to set a Guinness World Record for eating ravioli. A former advertising executive, he set five RecordSetter records, and saw them all get crushed. Dan lives in Brooklyn.
