The booklets were produced to a very high standard of illustration, printing and publishing from 1933-1939, then 1950-1966, after which the Guinness Book of Records continued the tradition.

Every publication from 1933 to 1966 was a high-quality booklet with rhymes, text and cartoons created by some of the top illustrators and writers of the time.
