Looking for a 80s Trivia / Fun Facts Book
December 10, 2014 7:12 AM Subscribe
Growing up, I owned a trivia book from the mid-to-late 80s (or, possibly, the early 90s) that I foolishly gave away at some point. Try as I might, I haven't been able to find another copy. Unfortunately, I can't remember the title or its author(s). Here's what (I think) I know:
The book is rectangular, wider than it's tall, similar to how some comic strips are published in books. It wasn't especially thick, 200-300 pages. Certainly not the size of those Big Book of Amazing Fact volumes.
The cover is comprised of two white and pink horizontal bands with, I believe, a scattering of drawings on the front and back.
The brief facts were arranged in three or four columns with a drawing and accompanying fact in the top center.
It wasn't on a specific topic, just general knowledge (especially history and science). The most contemporary facts were from either 1984 or 1985, so that leads me to believe it (or this iteration, if it was part of a series) was published in the late 80s.
Unfortunately, that's it. Hopefully at least some of this sounds familiar, but I can't vouch for the details being 100% accurate all these years later.
