Product Description
From every corner of the globe—and beyond—Guinness World Records™ 2009 gathers the most amazing, inspirational, and even bizarre record breakers yet! From don’t-try-this-at-home human achievements to natural and technological wonders, incredible feats in sports and entertainment, and much more, this latest edition introduces important new records and fascinating facts that will captivate every imagination. Did you know . . .
At 2 feet 5.37 inches, the shortest (mobile) living man is 19-year-old He Pingping of China, who was measured on March 22, 2008.
The world’s most expensive cocktail is offered at the Skyview Bar in Dubai, UAE. It costs $7,439 (27,321 dirham) and consists of 55-year-old Macallan whisky from Scotland, ice made from the water used at their distillery, a drop of exclusive dried fruit bitters, and passion-fruit-scented sugar.
Jeanne Stawiecki of the United States became the oldest female to climb the Seven Summits, including Mount Kosciuszko, when she completed her last climb (Mount Everest, Nepal) on May 22, 2007, at the age of 57 years, 36 days.
And that’s just a hint of what you’ll find inside this mind-blowing book, including striking photos, exclusive interviews, special sections on the year’s milestones—plus information on how you too can join the Guinness family of world-record breakers!

Good January 26, 2010
I'm Megan (-5th grader.) The Guinness book of world records is full of exhilarating fun facts, and creepy stunts and accomplishments. Most of the "records" in the book are like longest hair, tallest legs, and everything in between. This is a book I would consider reading it on a rainy day, or just when you need something interesting. If you do, I'm just about sure it will suit all the needs to read it!! Everything about it is most likely unusual to many people. (Some of them I was shocked to see.) Mostly, a lot of people find it intereststing of all the fun facts and things that the people could do!!! Anyways, if you are bored one day, I would recommend this book 100 percent great to read!!
