A Selection of Guinness Books
From a
lovely - if somewhat surprising - book about abandoned railway lines,
through books about the natural world, glamour in fashion and "beards and
moustaches" to pure reference books, this section of our site houses a mixed
pick of some books which don't fit naturally elsewhere on the site. Some of
the weird and wonderful Guinness books on this page may entice collectors of
the usual record and reference books to branch out and explore some of the
less well-known editions.
