Heavy book with a thick blue cover?
My Dad had a pile of those. They were very good as I recall

It's likely not the first car book I bought, but it's one of the first I remember reading and later buying.
Sunday Driver, by Brock Yates.
My oldest book is actually my dad's undergrad book that I used in undergrad--Mark's Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers. My edition was published in 1976

I'm sorry but I'm distracted by this requirement and apparently can't let it go. It seems like an oddly specific exclusion. Can I count books that don't meet all three requirements? I'm sure that my first serious books were purchased in grade school but I don't know if I ordered them or what the delivery time was. I do have some that I know I picked up in used book stores while I was in grade school but I'm not sure if they were my first. Do they count?

This and still have a spiral wound one, regular one, digital one.
If you don't consider this a legitimate, serious book, I've got news for you. The amount of enthusiasts that were ignited by this book are legion.
