This is the first of Philip J Gould’s books published, written with access to Ralf Laue’s extensive library of World Record facts.
This incredible tome is the result of many years of research that has culminated in a crazy compendium of incredible and unusual feats. With thousands of records, from pulling airplanes and barges to lying on a bed of nails, typing backwards, or being the fastest-running waiter in the world, there really is a challenge for everyone.
Published in 2004, it took the best part of two years to compile and write.
