I remember the GBWR books from when I was a kid and just sitting and devouring all the information. I remember me and my siblings and friends trying to break world records all the time, it became a game. So when I was lucky enough to check out the 2011 GBWR, I was excited, and not in the least disappointed! The pictures are stunning, and I learned some new things. It was also a good "Mama & Callan" time, where we cuddled on the couch and just sat and looked at the book, and talked about it. A very cool book that we will treasure and look back on later in life, and enjoy!

A bizarre world record I found on the Guinness website is the largest appendix removed. It was 10.24 inches long!
