Verkäuferbewertung 2 von 5 Sternen
Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good/Good. First Edition. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. A fascinating mix of participatory journalism and history, Getting Into Gui nness is the never-before-told story of the bestselling copyrighted book of all time. Veteran reporter Larry Olmsted began a personal quest to break a n existing world record, then to set another one, and soon he was fully imm ersed in the crazy and highly competitive world of record breaking. This is his behind-the-scenes report of the characters who created the famous reco rd book and continue to make it wackier and wackier with every passing year . The enthralling 50-year history of the Guinness World Records is a story of phenomenal success, equally compelling failures, and extreme oddities. Peo ple all over the world strive to get into the book, often in the most unbel ievable ways. Olmsted chronicles some of the funniest and most interesting Guinness record holders from a uniquely insider perspective: he himself is one of them. It all began with a gentleman's wager over which was the fastest game bird in Europe, the golden plover or the grouse. The attempt to answer this question has sold more than 100 million books in dozens of languages and every corner of the globe. Today, there is heated competition for the record to hold the most records (currently held by Ashrita Furman, 114 records and counting), as well as classic curiosities that have lasted for decades (the tallest man in history is still Robert Wadlow, at 8' 11"). Interwoven into all of this is Olmsted's account of his own two successful recor. Artikel-Nr. RWARE0000051939
