Quizes with answers. I was just flipping through this tonight. I thought I was in a Jeopardy Show from 1972 and then I thought, no wait, Jeopardy wasn?t even on in 1972. I looked it up. 1964. I blame the Beatles. My point, and I?m posting an image, is I think this could be so much fun, its some great obscure stuff, and it?s time for a new game (albeit, not on some device). (albeit albeit I was born in 1953, but 1972 was interesting). There are many less expensive copies listed. You should absolutely buy one and it will truly be a source of some interesting evenings. Mine is a first edition if first editions are your passion. Shipped in a well-padded box.
