Discover a world of new superlatives in the newest edition of the world's best-selling record book:

Meet the new shortest living man...
... and measure the tallest mohawk hair-do (yes, it's bigger than the shortest man!)

Take a spin in the lowest road-legal car

Visit the hottest planet in the solar system

Go trekking with the world's youngest polar explorer

Witness the fiercest predators in the ocean

Feast your eyes on the planet's largest commercially available hot dog...

... and dine out with the fastest eaters!

AUGMENTED REALITY:
This year, the content is literally exploding off the pages thanks to our new Augmented Reality (AR) feature. It's a FREE app available to anyone with an iPhone/iTouch or Android device.
Experience the new Augmented Reality feature by visiting the SHARKS spread and pointing your device at the SEE IT IN 3D icon... Just don't get too close! "We're going to need a bigger book!"

Packed with new features and exclusive photographs, the newly designed Guinness World Records 2013 continues
to excite and inspire readers of all ages - and proves that books can be cool!

For the first time ever, we take a scientific look at some classic record categories and ask: Given the current understanding of physics, what's the best that can ever be achieved? We've asked statisticians, record holders and
experts from a wide variety of fields to predict limits such as:

The fastest time an athlete will ever run a 100-m race
The oldest age a human being can ever reach
The tallest height a building can ever reach

Cutting-edge design:
Books have to compete for a reader's time with computer games, on-demand video and all manner of visually rich
media. GWR stays fresh and relevant each year with the help of a clean, new design - this edition's "Techno" look
is by Paul Deacon of 55 Design.

Annotation:
Discover the depth and detail in a diagram or photograph with these informative captions.

Clear signposting:
As ever, the records are organized into spreads and chapters, which are colour-coded to help readers navigate through the book

3,000 new entries:
You'll find an estimated 4,000 records - and countless facts - throughout the book. Here's a good fact you should know: each year, at least 75% of the content is brand new!

1,000 photographs including new exclusive images:
Our team of fantastic photographers have brought back some of the most amazing images you'll see all year - all exclusive to Guinness World Records 2013.

Infographics:
New for 2013 are these graphical interpretations of world record data. See at a glance how record holders compare and how their achievements stack up.
