Can you help me find an old (c1990s) 1,000 Amazing Facts book

I've just been reminded that circa 1995 I had an illustrated 1,000 amazing facts book which I loved. My mother took it to the charity shop when I was out! I'd recognise the cover. I've tried googling but I can't find it via that route.

Does thing book ring any bells with anyone? I'd really like to find another copy of it! Thanks in advance for any comments

This? Sitting next to me: my sons favourite oil from my own childhood 😂

Was it this book? I had it when I was a child, me and my brother loved it, then it got lost but years later my brother found a copy online (but I think that's been lost now)

Omg I had that! I read it so much the front and back cover came off. Bloody brilliant!

Several copies of "It's a Fact" are available via eBay & Amazon market place, just in case anyone else fancies a trip down memory lane!

£133 on eBay is an amazing fact all by itself

I know! Absolutely insane price! I was half tempted to get another copy until I saw the prices they're going for. Did love that book though, read it over and over again so many times.

Lol! I remember most of the facts anyway. I always preferred the people section to the sciencey stuff. My mum got me that book. Oh the world pre internet, we've lost a whole culture.
