In simple terms, Martyn Tovey is Guinness World Records biggest fan.

The 57-year-old from Somerset, UK holds two world records for the ‘Largest collection of Guinness World Records Memorabilia’ and the ‘Largest Collection of Guinness World Records Annuals’.

Martyn owns over 2,164 unique Guinness World Records items of memorabilia and over 353 unique annuals including rare first editions signed by both Norris and Ross McWhirter.

In the video below, Martyn explains how winning the 1968 edition of the annual as a child kick-started a lifetime obsession, and gives his tips for fellow GWR collectors.
