You can tell just from the font that this book is from the 80s
The font is Revue! People often say that their first love-hate font was Comic Sans - well, this was the first font I thought was pretty damn cool and I saw it getting run to the ground with overuse in early 1990s. It was pretty much in half of the ads in early 1990s. (My theory: It was bundled with a popular graphic design passion package / clipart bundle, Arts & Letters, and everyone made their ads with it. I can't wait for the day when I finally get arsed to install Windows 3.0 environment and my copy of Arts & Letters and prove the doubters wrong)
I half expected the first comment about the font to be about The Room to be honest.
Thanks! I was racking my brain trying to think of where I knew it from, and after seeing the page that you linked I'm almost certain that it's After Burner that is causing my brain to trigger the 80s association.
