My copy had so many creases in the spine and cover, it started to disintegrate. But what a visual touchstone for me from over 40 years ago. Snaps me straight back to staring at that book for hours, then creating my own single line dial-in BBS (1200 baud!) The ONLY Atari BBS in Ontario, at the time.

This darling boy, so gentle with his stuffies, ran into the woods today while on a walk, and while that isn't unusual, this time he came back with his face looking like he was cosplaying as Carrie. Bad day to be a rabbit. Best day ever for him. We're still in shock.
