History

The idea of a book of world records was conceived by Sir Hugh Beaver, who managed the Guinness beer brewery. Beaver came up with the idea for the book while playing a pub game, and realized that there were surely trivia nights in pubs and bars all over the world that needed a source to verify information easily. The first edition was published in 1954 and sold thousands of copies in Britain and America.
