Signed book: Alcoholics Anonymous. Second edition, first printing. NY: Alcoholics Anonymous Publishing, Inc., 1955. Hardcover with dust jacket, 5.75 x 8.25, 575 pages. Signed and inscribed on the first free end page in blue ballpoint with his seldom-seen full signature, “Dear John Moorhouse, With this my everlasting gratitude that we have friends like you, Ever yours, Bill Wilson, NY, 10/15/59.” Autographic condition: fine, with a toned paperclip mark to top of signed page. Book condition: VG/VG+. Blue cloth-covered boards; mild wear to edges with tiny tears in cloth at corners and spine-ends; spine sunned and rubbed along edges; textblock very slightly yellowed; scattered brown soiling to exterior and top edge of ffep. Dust jacket in protective mylar sleeve; few very small chips/tears and creases along edges; light rubbing; very slightly yellowed. Since AA came into being in 1935, the fellowship Wilson helped to create has helped millions to become sober—many historians consider him one of the greatest influences in the 20th century. When this second edition was released in 1955, one reviewer stated that the pages of the book were American legend and would ‘remain there, through the full history of man’s pursuit of maturity.’ All together, it is one of the best-selling books of all time, having sold 30 million copies.
