I can’t believe there hasn’t been a book published yet dedicated to this show. While not every big TV show gets a book published about it, FOL is a show that has a definite cult following and has been a “guilty pleasure” of many more people, and is considered a staple of classic 1980s television.
And, what better show to have a book crafted into a yearbook format than FOL? The cover could be made up of the colors of Eastland as the Eastland Yearbook or Eastland Annual, perhaps with a photo of the school on the front and a title like The Facts of Life and Eastland Academy. Along with sections about the creation/background and episodes of the show, there could be “chapters” called “Faculty and Staff”, “Students”, and “Alumni” which show photos in a yearbook style and give little blips on the peripheral characters of Eastland Academy in Peekskill (i.e., Ms. Downs, Mr. Gideon, Miss Mahoney, Tumpy, Emily, Cynthia, Carl, Jeff, Boots St. Clair, etc.)
And, of course, galleries galore of promotional material and on-set photos.
