On 4 May in 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, who was the owner
of "Guiness" beer company, went on a shooting party in the North Slob, by the River
Slaney in County Wexford, Ireland. One
of friends opened a conversation of the fastest bird in Europe and they began
to argue. Hugh decided to search for that information in books but understood that there wasn’t such information in books yet, and thought that it would be better
to have a book of Records where everybody can find answer to any question.
In 1955, he released his first book "The Guinness Book
Of Records" and in the same year this book became is one of the UK
bestsellers.
