In honor of World Book Day, which was last Saturday, let's take a brief look at the Guiness Book of World Records. It’s no coincidence that this famous reference book and the Guinness Breweries have the same name. The book was conceived in 1952 by the then director of the company, Sir Hugh Beaver, after an argument during a hunting trip about which game [1] bird was the fastest in Europe. Disturbed by [2] the fact that there was no source [3] to settle [4] the argument. He imagined that in pubs all over Britain, people were arguing about topics that couldn’t be settled. And so the idea to create The Guinness Book of Records was born. The first edition was published in 1954.
