Book Description
The world's most authoritative family reference. The
Guinness Book of Records itself holds the record for being
the world's bestselling copyrighted book! The 1999 edition
highlights all of the current record-holders for events
common (the largest single auto plant in the world belongs to
Volkswagen) and strange (the "human arrow" Ariana
was fired 75 feet from a crossbow); funny (Fabian Pretou,
6'2" married Natalie Lucius, 3'1") and macabre (Jed
Shaner was covered by a mantle of 343,000 bees!). From
unknown people to famous (Michael Jordan, Kenny G, Jerry
Seinfeld), this book has them all!
