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 has experienced wear with visible damage. it is unclear what caused the cover to have the appearance that it does. The boards a firm and completely intact. The gold lettering on the spine is also damaged. The book is fully intact with no missing pages. There is no writing or markings inside the book. The pages are clean and look great!

The dust jacket has some edge wear and torn where the front cover and flap are creased.
