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 very good condition. The cover looks great with almost no wear. The gold lettering on the spine is bright and looks great. There is slight splitting to the binding at the title page. There are some minor pen markings on a couple pages.

The original dust jacket has some wear with stains, edge wear and small tears.
