Title: Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than Two Thousand Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism Author: [Wilson, William (Bill W.)] Place: New York Publisher: Works Publishing Company Date: 1941 Description: viii, [2], 400 pp. 9x6, original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt, facsimile jacket, custom red cloth box. First Edition, Second Printing. There were 5000 copies of the second printing, of which a small number were presumed to have been bound in the 240 left-over red cloth covers of the first printing (of the first printing there were only 4760 copies printed of the ordered 5000 copies, covers for all 5000 copies were ordered and assumed to have been produced), it is further presumed that these red cloth bound copies of the second printing were distributed to prisons and other institutions. The provenance of the present volume traces through several recent owners, beginning with Frank D., an ex-convict who acquired the volume from the prison library at Waupan State Prison, Waupan, Wisconsin. A letter of provenance and other related documentation is laid in. Extremely rare! Lot Amendments Condition: Recased, spine cloth reinforced, hinges repaired, spine lettering faded, light wear and soiling to cloth; very good in a facsimile jacket. Item number: 205225
