PREFACE Many events and feats reported to us do surpass all other known claims yet are not included in each new edition of the book. The Guinness Book of World Records is not a compendium of every record ever set, but a rather subjective selection of those that the editors in their sole discretion find to be the most of records, are dropped from time to time even when they have not been exceeded. This 28th US edition has been brought up to date by the editors and provided with many new photos. We wish to thank correspondents from the many countries of the world for raising and settling various editorial points. Strenuous efforts have been made to improve the value of the material presented and this policy will be continued in future editions. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Guinness Book of World Records 1990 (-)
