In 1975 or so, my father gave to me for Christmas a BoM / D&C / PoGP with a leather cover and my name embossed in gold on the bottom, right-front cover.

It was soooo satisfying, a few years later, when I chucked it in the dumpster. The tome now resides in a Wichita, Kansas landfill.

Edit: Fixed language, so that I wasn't living in the dumpster...
