Other Guinness Publications
As well as
the Book of Records, Guinness produced, approved or commissioned a large
range of other reference publications and advertising (promotional)
material. We do not intend to catalogue all such publications here, but we
have a few selected books that will probably be of interest to other
Guinness collectors. This page details some of our collection, and groups
books into sections, rather than by date of publication.
Guinness record book collectors will know that the special Christmas
editions of the Guinness Book of Records produced in 1967,
1968, 1969 and
1970 carried on a tradition of sending
a Christmas gift to doctor's surgeries every year. As the letter
accompanying the 1967 edition notes, "We trust you will enjoy this
copy of the Guinness Book of Records. It is taking the place of the
familiar Christmas verses you have received in the past".
In
fact, Guinness began sending promotional booklets to doctors in 1933,
continued the practice up until World War 2, and then resurrected it in
1950. The booklets were produced each year until 1966, after which the
Christmas Guinness Book of Records continued the tradition. Every
publication from 1933 to 1966 was a high-quality booklet with rhymes,
text and cartoons created by some of the top illustrators and writers of
the time. All of the booklets were produced by the advertising agency SH
Benson, who also produced many of the iconic Guinness advertisements of
the period.
Benson
sought testimonials from doctors to promote the notion that "Guinness
is Good for You". Each booklet in the series was intended to be a
limited edition, collectable item, so finding copies in good condition
is not too difficult, but they continue to command a high price at
auction.
All
booklets are 9⅜x6⅛ inches (238x156mm), except where noted below.

Guinness also produced a quarterly staff
magazine, called "Guinness Time". At least in the early years,
each copy of Guinness Time was priced at sixpence and, as well as
items of interest to the brewery staff, the magazine recorded items of
national interest (for example, the Festival of Britain in the Spring
1952 issue, the death of King George VI in the Spring 1952 issue and the
Coronation of the Queen in the Summer 1953 issue).

Guinness Time - Bound Volumes |
|
The Guinness Time
magazines were often collected into volumes and bound as
hardback books (left). Four magazines (Christmas/Winter,
Spring, Summer and Autumn) made up each volume. Guinness
staff could collect a set of four editions and have them
bound by Guinness. From the Christmas 1960 edition: 'Facilities
for binding can again be offered for volume thirteen as with
the twelve preceding volumes. The four copies should be put
in an envelope bearing the owner's name and address and
handed to Miss V. E. Moggridge, "Guinness Time" office, East
Block'.
We have the following bound sets: Volume 1 (1947-1948),
Volume 2 (1948-1949), Volume 3 (1949-1950), Volume 4
(1950-1951), Volume 5 (1951-1952), Volume 6 (1952-1953),
Volume 7 (1953-1954) and Volume 8 (1954-1955). |
