Here's why:
* Almanacs provide general information: They typically contain information about the year, including calendars, astronomical data, weather forecasts, historical events, and statistics.
* The Guinness Book of World Records focuses on records: It exclusively compiles and lists extraordinary achievements and unusual facts, such as the tallest man, the longest fingernails, or the most ping pong balls held in the mouth.
While both publications contain factual information, their purpose and content are distinct.
