Subject: Early BASIC "how-to" books
There must have been a thousand titles like "Learn BASIC for your ModelX
Home Computer".
The earliest I have found is Copyright 1977 by Jerald Brown (DYMAX, CA)
called Instant Basic
The earliest I have is "Illustrating BASIC" by Donald Alcock, also 1977.

I take it then that you are considering the "how-to" books in a different
catagory from the more general tutorial type of book?
Just as a data point, a quick prowl through the collection archive here
finds a tutorial on BASIC from G.E. with an original publication date of 1965.
