Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #186
In "All Booked Up," Archie's last-minute scramble to finish a book report kicks off a playful rivalry between Betty and Veronica, each determined to help—or hinder—him in their own way. With Betty outsmarting him by checking out his top three choices, and Veronica pulling rank by offering access to her father’s exclusive private library, Archie finds himself caught between two very different kinds of help. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Rudy Lapick, and featuring a cover by Dan DeCarlo, this 1971 classic captures the charm and competition of teenage friendship at its finest.

When Archie needs to do a book report, Betty checks out all three books he was thinking of reading, so he'll have to come to her to get them. Veronica counters this strategy by taking Archie to get a book from her father's private library.
