The cover is largely the same as the UK 19th Edition, except that the front cover has "Australia Edition" instead of "Superlatives Unlimited". Many copies also had a sticker which says "First Ever Australian Edition".
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 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.
