Library World Records provides over 600 intriguing and comprehensive facts about ancient and modern books, manuscripts, serials, librarians and libraries around the world.
I hope this new amazing reference book will inspire more young people out there to take up the profession of a librarian or information scientist.

* 401 pages, 156 new photographs. Includes a detailed bibliography, an appendix and a 48-page comprehensive index. Paperback (alkaline) edition, 7 x 10 inches.
During research work for the first and second editions of Library World Records, the author sent out e-mails to several Internet-based bulletin boards for librarians around the world, asking for a vote on the most fascinating library buildings in the world they had visited or seen at home or abroad. The results of votes were published in the first and second edition of Library World Records and provided some surprises. I am pleased to say that there is a list of brand new nominations and winners is provided in the 3rd edition of the book. If you were one of the hundreds of librarians who voted in 2014/2015, be sure to check out the 3rd edition of Library World Records , when it is published in 2017.
