Join us as we commemorate the platinum anniversary of the world’s top-selling annual book! As the Guinness World Records (GWR) turns 70, we’re hosting an exclusive celebration. Kicking off with a cornucopia of vintage features in the opening chapter that reminisce our past seven decades. Naturally, we’re also showcasing the creme de la creme of record-breaking achievements from the past year! This latest edition – meticulously revised and updated, adorned with over 1,000 striking images – pays homage to our milestone while perpetuating the yearly tradition of presenting a plethora of fascinating facts and feats that the entire family will relish. As part of our milestone celebration, GWR is conferring platinum grade ICON status on a chosen few record breakers – including the likes of Taylor Swift and LeBron James – who truly embody the essence of being a Guinness World Records title holder. Within each chapter, our poster-style Flashback features delve into the history of one significant record category. We also ponder over the ultimate frontiers of record-breaking – for instance, could we witness a sub-3-second Rubik’s Cube solution? Keep an eye out for our special Dear GWR… features scattered throughout the book. We’ve rummaged through our archives to unearth some never-seen-before record applications that didn’t quite reach the finish line. It’s our loving homage to human ingenuity – and the enduring allure of earning a coveted GWR certificate! The cover art for this year’s edition is a thrilling new design by 3D digital artist Chris Labrooy, perfectly capturing the latest addition to the Guinness World Records mission statement: to find the fun! Fueled by his passion for transforming “familiar everyday things into new typographic and sculptural forms”, Chris’s vibrant artwork serves as a tantalising preview for the chapters in GWR 2025. You’ll discover nods to the worlds of sports, engineering, exploration, gaming, and flora and fauna, among others
