Editions from Other Countries
Following the first U.K. edition in 1955 and the first U.S. edition in 1956,
"foreign language" editions of the Guinness Book of Records started to appear
from 1962/3 onwards. By the time that the
30th U.K.
Edition was published in 1983, many other countries had their own versions
of the book - we have reproduced the table from that edition below.
At the start of 2008, the Guinness World Records website stated that the book
had: "sales of more than 100 million copies in 100 different countries and 24
languages", however that is likely to be the current distribution and not
the peak distribution. In this section of the site we'll try and catalogue the
first editions for as many countries as we can and provide, where possible,
additional information about the publication history for each country.
We don't have complete information for all of the first editions published
worldwide, so please help if you can. We will also use this page to catalogue
interesting records books from other countries.

Various languages, the first being Hindi.
A Malay edition was contracted for publication in 1983; U.K. Editions
with an
Australian supplement
had been published annually since 1972, whilst the first
Southern African edition was produced in 1968. The first
Canadian edition was published in 1976, followed by the first
New Zealand edition in 1977.
Other editions first published in the 1980s included Arabic, Thai,
Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hungarian, and
Russian. The first
Polish edition was published in 1990, followed by Bulgarian,
Romanian, Slovak, Korean (1991) and Macedonian. We also have some other record
books from
Russia (1991)
and the German Democratic
Republic (1978, 1989).
The first Central
American edition was published by Editorial Voluntad S.A. of
Santa Fe de Bogotá,
Columbia in 1993. This edition in Spanish (later called the
Latin American
edition) was targeted at readers in
"Argentina, Columbia, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estados
Unidos, Guatemala, México, Panamá, Puerto
Rico and Venezuela".
In 2015 the first ever edition in
Mongolian Cyrillic
was published by the Nomiin Khishig Publishing company in Ulaanbaatar.

Notes:
-
The cover is largely the same as the UK
15th Edition,
except that the front and back of the dust-jacket say, "with Southern African
records compiled by Eric Rosenthal".
-
Our copy has the inscription, "F.
A. Droste & Co., Ltd." on the cover and dust-jacket.
-
The Southern African Records section is 34 pages long. All pages are blue tinted
paper - the second page has "Late Additions and Amendments" ("Owing to the
miscarriage of a set of printer's proofs"), and the following 32 pages
contain the Southern African records.
-
The Foreword for the Southern African Records section (September 1968) says, "The
Guinness Book of Records welcomes the inclusion of the Southern African section,
written by Eric Rosenthal, the well-known encyclopaedist".
-
We have a copy of Eric Rosenthal's own book - "TOTAL's book of Southern African
Records" (Hardback, 8x5¼in, 160 pages, ISBN 0-620-01923-9). Ours is a First
edition, first impression from 1975, and is signed by the author.

Notes:
-
The cover is largely the same as the UK

except that the front cover has "Australia Edition" instead of "Superlatives
Unlimited". Many copies also had a sticker which says "First Ever Australian

-
The inside back cover pages of the standard edition ("Current Olympic Records
after the XXth Games in Munich, 1972") turn into additional pages (not numbered)
after page 317.
-
The Australian Records section begins, "Comprising the records from the six
States of the Commonwealth of Australia (New South Wales (with Lord Howe Is.);
Victoria; Queensland; South Australia; Western Australia and Tasmania (with
Macquarie Is.)) and the two internal Territories Northern Territory and
Australian Capital Territory and the eight external Territories: Papua New
Guinea; Norfolk Is.; Ashmore and Cartier Islands; Australian Antartic Territory;
Heard Is. and McDonald Islands; Cocos (Keeling) Islands; Christmas Is.; and
Coral Sea Islands Territory." The spelling mistake is corrected in later
editions.
-
The Foreword for the Australian Records section says, "This is the first
edition of the Guinness Book of Records to include a collection of exclusively
Australian records. A growing interest and correspondence with Australians
concerning superlatives has encouraged us to pioneer this work".
-
The Australian Records section is 25 pages long - the first has a standard white
background and the remainder have a pale yellow background.

-
The Foreword for the Canadian Records section says, "This is a pioneer
edition with a section devoted to purely Canadian records. The compilers are

confident that this collection can be improved with each succeeding edition".
