[Rarebooks] FS: Bright copy in dustwrapper of the ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS Big Book

[Charles Agvent]

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS. THE STORY OF HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF MEN  AND
WOMEN  HAVE  RECOVERED  FROM ALCOHOLISM. New  York:  Works  Publishing
1950.  First  Edition. The uncommon Thirteenth Printing of  the  First
Edition  beautifully preserved. The early printings were not large and
the  books  tended  to be well used--after all, many copies  were  not
simply  read  but lived. This is a tight, clean copy, the only  defect
being  a  small section at the top of the front and rear covers  where
the  dark  blue  color  is faded and rough to the  touch.  The  bright
dustwrapper with its yellow, red, white, and black colors is complete,
the  spine  the same deep color as the front panel, with only  a  tiny
chip  at the rear and a short closed tear and resulting crease at  the
top  of the front. Near Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper. Bright  copy.
                                                               $1500.00
