Which "The Book" are you talking about.
For me it would be Dartmouth Basic 6th Edition that I got in 1972 at
Keiwit Computation Center at Dartmouth College in Hanover New Hampshire.
Unfortunately my copy of 6th edition is long bone but I still have my
copy of TM115 Basic 7 User's Guide Dartmouth College Computing dated 1981.
I initially learned BASIC from the book Basic Basic by James S. Coan
while programming on a 4K PDP-8/L with an ASR-33 for the console and
paper tape "mass" storage in 1972.
