Interesting book that would make a great gift for any occasion!
I was a big fan of these books as a kid, and now my 9 year old son is a big fan! We ordered this for him for Christmas and it arrived quickly with no damage. The hard cover is shiny/holographic looking which adds to the cool factor. Content is as usual - neat knowledge nuggets for the whole family to enjoy reading about. Pages are visually stimulating as well.

My kids go CRAZY for these books!!
I purchased this book for my middle school classroom. Students from gate 5-8 absolutely go CRAZY over these books!! I also enjoy reading through them every year before they get their hands on it. The hardcover is a MUST HAVE!! It has held up for a year and a half and the binding looks almost brand nee with students reading it almost every day. No paperback could hold up to this abuse! Very interesting material and extremely durable! Even though it is 2016....I still recommend getting all the previous years, especially if they are discounted.

We love the book it is colorful and fun for us to read together!
My daughter who is 12 and I are enjoying reading this. I remember getting my first copy when I was in grade school and it was paperback and black and white and hard to read. This copy is so cool and easy to read with great pics. I got it as the Amazon.com special the other day 50% off and another 4.00 off I believe so the price was awesome. It is pricey otherwise but you only buy it once a year. Recommended.

Wonderful Entertaining Read
Always a yearly Christmas gift for our teens. Been gifting these since before they could read and they provided great parent / child captive reading. Interesting, entertaining and encourages young ones as well as adults to read. Even now that they read them on their own, they still flock to me to show / read some of the stories. They even reread prior year editions as sometimes due to age and interest, they have skipped sections. Always a great guest bathroom book too ;)

Some important records appear to be missing
Some important records appear to be missing, like the world's most powerful laser. I last bought the 1994 "mammoth" edition, and it did live up to its name, large and full. This edition, while brought up to the minute seems to have shifted focus a bit, and went on a slimfast diet. Still a hefty work with thousands of entries, the sports section remains the largest, harking back to the book's original purpose, settling drinking bets over a Guinness Stout.

Great Gift
Great gift for a man. Give every year at Christmas to men in family. All like it, good bathroom reading! Got a couple when they were just released, the order was a gift for my son, going through radiation and chemo so in 'good' moments, good light reading for him, easy conversations from it!

This year's book is fun to read for "not so serious" reading. Great Price on Amazon
This was a great stocking stuffer. My son reads it at night before he goes to bed. This is a fun book. The price on Amazon is 1/2 the cost than what I saw at the Stop and Shop. Just an overall good book to read.
