No, you don't ever haven to get rid of that book. I used to have that book and so did my parents when they were younger. But my mom has this big book with all of his books combined and it came with a red and white striped hat. I actually had friends who were in high and middle school at the time who had never heard of his books. I was shocked and taken back. my whole family was just like "You mean you've never heard of this book or that book?"
But congratulations D'Snowth! And I wish to the best of luck with that life your gonna get!
