Guinness Book of World Records - anyone have a copy?

[BMdoobieW]

Does anyone have a copy handy? Preferably an older copy from the late 1980's or early 1990's. I'm looking for information about a specific record that I recall seeing in there many years ago. The record is for "riding the entire NYC subway system in the shortest amount of time." This record should be in the section of the book called "Transport." If you could look this record up for me and then either type here the actual text, or answer some questions for me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

The record for traveling the whole New York City subway system is 26hr 21min 8sec set by Kevin Foster on Oct 25-26, 1989.

Thank you so much! Now does it say anything else there, like if it was done "all on one fare?"
