Guinness Book of Records stolen!

he Guinness Book of Records was launched by twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter in 1954. They were born in August 1925 at Winchmore Hill, London, the sons of William Allan McWhirter, managing director of Associated Newspapers and Northcliffe Newspapers Group.. Both went to the same college, both were outstanding track athletes, and both served in the Royal Naval in WWII.

To date, more than 100 million copies of the 400 editions of Guinness Book of Records have been sold in some 40 languages, making it one of the world's all-time best-selling copyright book. But Guinness Book of Records also holds the record for being the book most often stolen from Public Libraries. Very weird but it is the number one stolen book in the world.
