Handbook of BASIC, Third Edition by David I. Schneider published in 1988

This book probably launched my career in programming. When the book wore out, I carefully cut off the spine, hole punched it, and moved it into a 3-ring binder. I still have it.

It’s a complete reference to the language I cut my teeth on as a teenager. The appendix was particularly useful.
