Guinness World Records 2019: What you can find in the new records annual

The world’s most popular record book is back with thousands of new categories and newly broken records, covering everything from outer space to sporting greats via Instagram, fidget spinners and all manner of human marvels.

Inside Guinness World Records 2019 you’ll find hundreds of never-before-seen photographs and countless facts and figures.

Plus, this year we celebrate the incredible “Maker” movement with a special feature about inventors, dreamers and crafters and creators who have amazing record-breaking projects such as the largest water pistol, an enormous skateboard and an elephant-sized hamburger (think you could eat a whole one!?). 

We take a sneak peak into their workshops to explore these epically big builds, and ask them what inspires them to go really, really large!

And if you like making things, and you like LEGO®, then you’ll love our Making History which explain important record-breaking objects – such as the Statue of Liberty or the Apollo mission’s Saturn V rocket - in colourful, poster-style pages.

You can also jump into both the making and record-breaking action with a Do Try This At Home section. Have a go at five fun records you can attempt involving origami, balloon sculptures, ring pulls and rubber bands. Who knows, your creation might just make it into the record books!
