DESCRIPTION:
Recent format is a shadow of the former version. The decision to tranform this book from its long standing text-reference form to this flashy watered down version was a major blunder. I recall volumes from the 70's to the turn of the 21st century as an awesome resource for disovering not just 'people' records, but those of nature and the universe as well. While past volumes were hundreds of pages of tightly packed information; you can't find most of the previous records in these current formats, nor is most the information available on their website. Here's an example, what's the coldest land temp. ever recorded? My 1999 book of world records had that info., but i. Incoming71 said Awesome Book. Very nice, my daughter loves this book. Also the App to view Awesome Book Very nice, my daughter loves this book. Also the App to view 3D is a nice little add on to enjoy.Spider looks like its sitting on the page.Wonderful facts anyone can enjoy.. D is a nice little add on to enjoy.Spider looks like its sitting on the page.Wonderful facts anyone can enjoy.. PG-13 Wouldn't recommend for kids under 10. Some of the records are suggestive or bazaar (what you would expect in a Ripley's). Also, the graphics and call outs and overlays are a little too random and comic-book like.
