First Computer Programming Book You Bought
#11
The Algol 68-R User Manual in 1974 (or possibly '75).

But the next one was the ICL BASIC User Guide, bought in 1977. Which as investments go, has an ROI measured in the zillions of percent. I wouldn't be where I am today without that early acquisition of BASIC knowledge.
