The
Guinness Facts and Feats Series
In 1970,
Guinness Superlatives launched the first in a series of books, known as the
"Facts and Feats Series", as spin-offs from the popular Guinness Book of
Records. The Facts and Feats books were full volumes dedicated to a single
topic, which could provide greater depth to their subject matter. The first book
published was "Air Facts and Feats", closely followed by similar publications
for "Car Facts and Feats" and "Rail Facts and Feats" in 1971.
When we
started to collect these books, we could not find a comprehensive list of the
books in the series (nor could we uncover a list of special editions or
reprints). With the help of a fellow collector, our own reviews of Guinness
Superlatives book catalogues, and searches of internet-based resources, we
believe that the list of books on this page is pretty close to being the
definitive list of the books in the Facts and Feats series. Some of the books
(particularly the later editions) are included because their edition numbers
prove that they are descendents of the original editions. Others may (or may
not) be part of the series; where there is uncertainty about a book's inclusion
in the series, we have excluded such editions from our current list.
Since this is
the first list of Facts and Feats books, we may well have missed some editions
or impressions, and there may be some publications that we are currently unaware
of. If you know of any other editions, please
let us know.
