Does anyone know where I can find the original Riptoes Starting Strength?

I've seen it on the web mentioned a few times but there are all sorts of different variations for example:

One site said this;

Workout A
3×5 Squat
3×5 Bench Press
1×5 Deadlift

Workout B
3×5 Squat
3×5 Press
5×3 Power cleans

Another one said;

Workout A
Squats
Bench Press
BB Rows

Workout B
Squats
Military Press
Deadlifts

with additional exercises like biceps curls and hyper extensions as optional exercises.

It doesnt really matter a great deal as they use almost identical exercises but I was curious as to what the original program was like. Esspecially as some of the variaions had optional exercises so im not sure if the original had optional ones also.
 
I havent had much luck but I think there is a book he put out that you can get online. I might have a look to see if i can get a copy.
