The collection represents a wide-ranging look at some of the most amazing records in the Guinness World Records database, from tightrope-walking dogs to the shortest woman on Earth and the tallest rideable motorcycle.

Each book comes packed with dozens of videos, photo galleries, and fun-filled quizzes. "Awesome Animals" documents the most extreme and amazing animals on our planet. You can not only read all about them, but also watch videos of them in action - from skateboarding dogs to the most venomous predators on Earth!

"Incredible People," meanwhile, is packed full with record-breaking bodies, breathtaking stunts and awesome feats of skill, strength, and endurance. This eBook celebrates the world’s most amazing people.
