Basic Rockcraft by Royal Robbins
Published 1971

Just thought I'd share. It is a pretty fun read. Also, the comics are pretty funny too. Here are some pics on the book.

I still have my self taught copy of Basic' and Advanced' Rockcraft. Great used book to purchase, just for the history of it. Nice find.

I see from the picture that the used price was $4.50
My guess is that it cost that much new in the early seventies.
I wish I still had my original copy.
Sheridan Andersen's cartoons were brilliant!

Actually the "New" cover price was $2.50! But totally worth $10 today...

Not that uncommon on eBay.
