The Co-Founders Collection
Ten Signed First Edition Alcoholics Anonymous Big Books, 1941–1954
Recovery Collectibles is pleased to present an extraordinary assembled collection of ten First Edition printings of Alcoholics Anonymous carrying the signatures, inscriptions, presentations, and associations of the people at the center of early Alcoholics Anonymous history.
At the heart of the collection are Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith, the co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous.
In Their Own Hands
Original Letters from Bill Wilson, Dr. Bob Smith, Jim Burwell & Hank Parkhurst
Seven original handwritten letters spanning 1940–1968, bringing together the personal voices of four foundational figures in Alcoholics Anonymous history.
From Jim Burwell reporting the beginnings of A.A. in Philadelphia to Bill Wilson reflecting on leadership and personal veneration in 1968, In Their Own Hands is an unusually concentrated collection of original A.A. correspondence.
