Same here, though my copy is in abysmal condition. Between this book and the 80s era enthusiast magazines that had delivered their code directly on the printed page I learned how to program and not be fearful of programming. I have to say that calling Ahl's book the most influential BASIC book sounds like a very feasible claim.

I still have my copy, the original DEC edition. Dave Ahl was one of my heroes back then.
