Guinness World Records, also known as The Guinness Book of Records and The Guinness Book of World Records in earlier US editions, according to Wikipedia, is an annual reference book published in the United Kingdom.
The book lists world records for both human accomplishments and the extremes of the natural world. Norris and Ross McWhirter, twin brothers, and Sir Hugh Beaver collaborated to start the book on Fleet Street, London, in August 1955.
The first edition was at the top of the bestselling list in the UK in 1955, the book was published in 100 countries and 23 languages the next year, and as of the 2022 edition, it is now in its 67th year of publication with a database containing more than 53,000 records.
A world record is typically the highest ever recorded and officially recognised performance in a particular skill, sport, or other activity. Guinness World Records and other world record organisations compile and publish a number of noteworthy records in their books. One of them is the World Records Union, which is the only organisation recognised by the Council of the Notariats of the European Union as a world records registry
