Alcoholics Anonymous First Edition 15th Printing from 1954 - ODJ

This is a First Edition Fifteenth Printing of the Big Book with an original dust jacket. This book was intended to be the last printing of the 1st Edition in anticipation of the 2nd Edition being released in 1955. AA needed to release the 16th printing later in 1954 due to concerns of running out of big books for sale before the release of the new edition. This printing was also the first printing released under “Alcoholics Anonymous Publishing, Inc.” All printings before this one were released under “Works Publishing, Inc.” This book is in good condition. The cover looks great with minimal wear. The gold lettering on the spine is bright and looks great. The first blank page of the book is torn out and missing, a name has been handwritten on the first title page, splitting to the binding with webbing exposed at the title page. The original dust jacket has wear with stains and tears around the edges. Please view all photos for conditions
