The Guinness Book of World Records

Preteen to young teen boys are always difficult to buy for. When my great nephew was about 10 or 11, I began giving him the Guinness Book of World Records every year. Last year, I was wondering if perhaps he was tired of getting it every year. His mother told me he asked her, "Do you think Aunt Pat will still get me the Guinness Book? I hope so!" So of course I did and was thrilled to know he still enjoys it. He is 15 now. And, yes he wants it again this year. I really think it is sort of an ageless book, to be enjoyed by all ages.
