SUPERLATIVE POSTERS

Designed specially for GWR 2018 ,

our exciting new superlative

spreads bring records to life in

all their infographic glory. These

two-page poster features appear

throughout the book between

each chapter, and each one is

based on a single superlative

• such as Tallest, Longest,
  Highest and Heaviest.
  The records that youȣll find
  on these pages are presented
  in increasing (or decreasing)
  order, allowing you to compare
  holders side by side. What’s
  faster: Usain Bolt or a cheetah?
  Does the tallest Christmas tree
  outstretch the tallest snowman?
  And what would cost you more:
  the most expensive guitar or the
  most expensive sandwich?
