What is Guinness?

Guinness was originally the name of a brewery. 195 1 At a hunting party in Ireland, Sir Hugh Beale fired several shots, but still failed to hit the birds. The people present had a heated debate about which bird runs fastest in Europe. They even rummaged through the encyclopedia and couldn't find the answer. The Norris brothers answered the question accurately. They said: Korean grouse, flying at 58-63 miles per hour. Sir Beale was keenly aware that the Norris brothers should be allowed to publish a world record reference book named after Sir Beale's own company. Only six months after its publication, Guinness World Records became a best seller in Britain.

The Guinness World Record won by Curiosity caters to the tastes of western readers and forms a kind of "Guinness Movement". Many people abroad are trying their best to create all kinds of strange records so that their names can be included in the book. This book itself is one of the best in the world. In the British Library, the most stolen book is Guinness World Records.

The English version of Guinness World Records has been published in more than 70 countries, and there are 22 non-English versions. At present, the global cumulative sales volume exceeds 95 million copies.

Guinness World Records also has its own museum. 1978 The Guinness Museum in Gothenburg was opened to the public for the first time. It is the earliest Guinness Museum still in operation. Here you can find the Beatles' earliest items and other "best in the world".
