In the issue 25th June 1981 Smash Hits gave away the First part of what was to become a 28 page The Smash Hits Book Of Pop Lists.
Over the next two issues of the magazine, 9th July and ending with the 26th July issue, there were further pages that you got together with the front and back cover to make the final booklet.
Essentially the booklet gave the reader a variety of information on various pop facts, for instance Eurovision and the Ten Record Breaking Albums.
All this was put in a game format so you can learn with your friends or just show off on how much you already knew.
