Guinness Encyclopaedias
In 1990 Guinness Publishing produced the Guinness
Encyclopedia - a natural companion to the range of reference books produced
over the preceding decades. Several variants of this edition were produced,
and a number of other Guinness publications were also named or classified as
encyclopaedias. This section of our site details these editions.
