Guinness Games and Quiz Books
The fun
side of Guinness Superlatives was evident from the very early days of the
company. Over the years, a number of quiz books and game books were
published, always with an educational, fun element. This page highlights
some of these editions; others can be found in other parts of our website.
As always, we believe that the attention to detail in these books makes them
a great read and well worth collecting!
