"The one thing that hasn't changed during the 50 years we've been publishing this book is that people are still inspired to break and set new Guinness World Records and this commemorative collector's edition is a testament to that desire,” remarked Stewart Newport, Keeper of the Records. “Half a century of Guinness World Records tradition is impressive, but we're not even half as old as Jeanne Louise Calment the Oldest Woman Ever, whom at 122 was recognized by this very book. There are more records out there to be broken and even more for us to chronicle."
