Record Makers and Record Breakers

The inventor of the alarm clock, the author of the best-selling nonfiction book, the painter of the largest mural, the most successful art forger, the importer of the first apple to America. These are just some of the record makers and record breakers whose lives and achievements are saluted in this entertaining and educational volume. Organized by category. This title, originally published in 1977, is available on-demand only.

This is not just another book of records. The Guiness Book of World Records has done that job admirably, and it would be difficult to improve upon it. This book is primarily about the people who established or broke a record that had already been established.
