Beautiful copy of ''Alcoholics Anonymous'' signed by AA founder Bill Wilson. First edition, 16th printing published by Alcoholics Anonymous Publishing: New York: 1954. Hardcover with original, near fine dustjacket is boldly signed in blue ballpoint on the front free endpaper, ''To Bud H. With all my gratitude. Devotedly / Bill / NY 1/25/55''. Reportedly from the estate of Budd Hemmick, a 1950's New York ad agency art director, whose ilk, as we know from ''Mad Men,'' were capable of putting down several. 5.75'' x 8.5'' book runs 400 pages. Beautifully and unusually preserved, in near fine condition with only minimal creasing to dustjacket. Extremely rare as such, and an important marker to the most famous and successful self-improvement organization of the 20th century.
