A new Guinness Book of Records has been published with the year 2017. Among the 4,000 new records that have further thickened this bible of records (from 1955 to the present, more than 136 million copies have been sold), there were also seven Slovenian achievements. Among other things, we now officially own the chocolate record with the largest area, the record for the longest distance traveled on a stationary bike, and the indoor 800 meter run record.

After the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has already hit Slovenian bookshelves, we have already learned when the eighth book sequel about the famous wizard will be published in Slovenian. The translation of the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which will bear the title Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, will be published by the beginning of the Slovenian Book Fair.
The wait is over! On Sunday, July 31, 2016, the English edition of the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), the eighth book continuation of the series about the famous wizard, who anchored himself in the hearts of too many fans of fantasy films and books, will be released. The release date is no coincidence, because on this day Harry Potter, now a burnt-out bureaucrat of the Ministry of Magic, husband and father of three children already in school, celebrates his birthday. You can already pre-order the book in English, and it will be available in Slovenian bookstores from August 1, 2016. It is not yet known when Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be released in Slovenian.

Good books, like any good art, are a mirror of life. And as such, they are often an important inspiration for those who immerse themselves in their mysterious world. Fantasy and science fiction books are a particularly important source of inspiration for the film industry. The strict regimes of dystopian societies, magical creatures and journeys to other galaxies are stories that always attract both readers and viewers. We present to you a list of ten fantasy and science fiction books that we expect to see in film form soon.
Model Naomi Campbell crowned 30 years of her modeling career with a book that is a cross-section of her incredible career. Despite being 45 years old, the Black Gazelle, as she is also called, has no plans to hang up her high-heeled shoes yet, as she can still easily compete with her colleagues who are more than half her age. To mark this milestone, Taschen has released The Art of Beauty, a pictorial and verbal overview of her rich career, which now spans three decades (her potential was discovered when she was only 15).
Tina Maze is a woman of many talents. The Queen of the White Cliffs has now become a fairy-tale heroine in the picture book Tina and the Bear's Power, written by the renowned youth and children's writer Primož Suhadolčan and illustrated by Gorazd Vahen. The tale contains autobiographical elements and Tina's address to young readers.
The concept of pop-up books or jump books is well known to us from childhood. It was also published by Kelli Anderson, but not some fairy tales, but a pop-up book, where there is a three-dimensional folding book that unfolds and jumps out of the covers, a working pinhole camera! The book "This Book Is a Camera" by the designer and art history teacher teaches us on a theoretical and practical level how a camera uses light to create a picture.
The cookbook I highly recommend, in which Darja Končarevič collected her favorite recipes - the owner of Ljubljana's Basilika, known for its delicious pies, župka and desserts - was published in mid-November, and the first printing was sold out in just a few weeks. At this year's book fair, it also earned the title of the most beautifully designed Slovenian cookbook.
