FILM buff Nick Bennett will feature in the 60th edition of the Guinness World Records for his huge James Bond collection.
The 47-year-old from Leigh owns 12,463 pieces of memorabilia, contained in a shrine in his house.
Mr Bennett said: “It’s a dream come true. As a child I read the book from cover to cover and I cannot believe that I will actually be in this year's book as an official record holder.”
Guinness World Records editor Craig Glenday said: “This is an important landmark edition for Guinness World Records, giving us the opportunity to look back at how records have changed.”
First published in 1955, the Guinness World Records book has become a publishing phenomenon, with more than 132 million copies sold in 20 languages, in more than 100 countries.
The latest edition reflects on the last 60 years of record-breaking.
The book goes on sale tomorrow.
