It was available solely by student subscription, and delivered in bulk to classrooms. Initially, the covers were of the same paper stock as the interiors; comic books' more typical slick covers were added in 1948. Six-issue summer editions were published in 1966 and 1967.<ref name=gcd-summer />
Beginning with Vol. 4, #1 (Sept. 7, 1948), the title changed to ''Treasure Chest of Fun & Fact'', with the final word now singular.<ref>[http://www.aladin0.wrlc.org/gsdl/cgi-bin/library?e=d-01000-00---off-0treasure--00-1--0-10-0---0---0prompt-10---4-------0-1l--11-en-50---20-home---01-3-1-00-0-0-11-0-0utfZz-8-00&a=d&cl=CL6.3 1948 issues] at WRLC Libraries</ref>
