  Oh bother: Deb Hoffmann's Winnie the Pooh collection, which the Guinness World Book of Records lists as the largest in the world, has become so big it now fills four entire rooms of her home in Waukesha, Wisconsin Веб-дизайнер из Висконсина, 48-летняя Дэб Хоффман, заполнила 4 комнаты своего жилища разнообразными игрушками и изображениями Винни-Пуха. Всего в ее коллекции, попавшей в Книгу рекордов Гиннеса, насчитывается 8900 экспонатов общей стоимостью в 100 тысяч долларов.

Коллекционированием мисс Хоффман увлеклась 20 лет назад, и пока что она не уверена, сможет ли перестать скупать игрушки, сувениры и даже предметы одежды с Винни-Пухом и его друзьями. Стоит отметить, что и супруг Хоффман Крейг поддерживает увлечение супруги и даже, будучи программистом, создал специальную базу данных по контролю коллекции, информирует Daily Mail.
