Other U.S. Editions and
Publications
As in
the U.K., a number of specially commissioned editions of the Guinness
Book of World Records are known. Given the nature of such publications, we do not have a definitive
list, so if you know of any other interesting related editions, please let us know.
This page will also document other related Guinness items from the
U.S.A. which we consider worthy of inclusion.

Notes:
- OK, although not directly Guinness related, this book is still one
of our favourite early record books from the U.S.A. and is believed to be the first "records"
book. The introduction states that, "It is the only book of
its kind and there is nothing either in the New York Public
Library or the Congressional Library in Washington even
remotely like it". Although some of the so-called records in
this book are rather fanciful by modern standards, many of
the records exactly match those in the first Guinness Book
of Records. Truly a ground-breaking publication!

Notes:
-
For Guinness Record Book collectors, this is a fascinating isuue
of the famous magazine which contains a very in-depth article
about the Guinness Book of World Records. Jerry Kirshenbaum's
article (entitled, "There's
Music in the Where?") runs from page 56 to page 70, and
contains a wealth of information about the McWhirters, the
history of the book and some of the records from the
17th U.S. (25th
U.K.) edition and earlier.
-
The article is believed to contain the first instance of the
term "Guinnessport" (the sport of getting into the Guinness
book).

history of the book and how it came to be in America (though David
