Guinness World Records is a reference book published each year. It has a collection of world records, both human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. The book itself holds a world record, as the best-selling copyrighted book series yet made.[2] It is also one of the most often stolen books from public libraries in the United States.[3]

It was known until 2000 as The Guinness Book of Records and in previous U.S. editions as The Guinness Book of World Records.
