Yup, Abramowitz and Stegun was the bible for many years in school. I've never heard it called the "Big Red" either. Everyone around me had the Dover edition which is a big blue book. I have the 9th Dover printing, which claims to be same as the 10th printing (December 1972) of the original, with some additional corrections. As far as I can tell from Amazon, the 9th Dover printing is still the most recent. The cheapest used price at Amazon is $7.91, incl shipping.
