    My first Red Book at 9 years old was this one. I didn't keep it, moved a handful of times so who knows where it ended up. I genuinely remember reading it under the covers by flashlight after lights out. Always kept an eye out for one...

    40 something years later and I just found one for $2 at a thrift store within walking distance... so much fun to see some things highlighted in the book like I used to do and then this receipt was super fun to come across in there as well! :)
    Just wanted to share my giddiness lol.

    Full disclosure, I posted this in another forum and it seemed to strike a wonderful nerve so I just wanted to share this here too :shame:
