The record-breaking record book is back with a whole new year’s worth of incredible accomplishments, spectacular stunts, cutting-edge science and unparalleled sporting achievements. As ever, it’s packed with hundreds of never-before-seen photographs, thousands of superlative stats, facts and figures, and a multitude of new features.

Superlative superheroes

This year, our Editors have taken their inspiration from superheroes – fictional and real-world – so look out for an all-new feature chapter charting the rise of the superhero in comic books, TV shows and movies. We also meet the real-life record-breakers with genuine superpowers.

Also new this year is a celebration of the superlative: taking one topic at a time, unique infographic poster pages explore the most exciting absolutes – such as the longest, tallest, fastest and heaviest. Does the longest sofa outstretch the longest train? Is the tallest Easter egg bigger than the tallest snowman?

There’s only once place you’ll find such a wide spectrum of topics – from geography and science, via showbiz and entertainment, to stunts and sports… Guinness World Records 2018 !
