The current issue of the biggest books of records differs from previous years as it includes, besides the best of last year’s feats, a selection of superlative and most curious records from the archives, published on the 60th anniversary of the first publishing of GWR.

GWE is yearbook sold the most worldwide, the TASR newswire quoted chief editor Craig Glenday. The interest in new records is not declining, either. Last year, the editorial staff administered 39,740 attempts at records, of which 4,281 were acknowledged and received the title Guinness World Record. New categories were added, like human twins and pirates, Minecraft constructions, formed balloons, hot-air balloons, forensic science, and digital technology.
