Rare signed book: Alcoholics Anonymous. First edition, 16th printing. NY: Alcoholics Anonymous Publishing, 1954. Hardcover with original dustjacket, 5.75 x 8.5, 400 pages. Boldly signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint on the first free end page, “To Bud H., With all my gratitude, Devotedly, Bill. NY 1/25/55.” In fine, clean condition, with scattered toning and creasing to dustjacket, though it remains in unusually nice condition given that most dustjackets on these editions are usually missing or in poor condition. Book originates from the estate of the recipient Budd Hemmick, a 1950s New York ad agency art director, who may have designed AA publication covers. Any first edition of Wilson’s book in such condition is scarce, let alone in signed examples.
