Alcoholics Anonymous – The Big Book

Third Edition, Third Printing (with Original Dust Jacket)

Publisher: Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.

Printing: 3rd Printing, August 1977 (Dust Jacket code: 8/77)

This is a Third Edition, Third Printing of Alcoholics Anonymous, published in 1977 and complete with its original dust jacket.

Although the copyright page incorrectly states “Second Printing,” this printing is correctly identified as the Third Printing by two features:

Page 16 references “30,000 groups in 1977.”

The dust jacket back flap bears the code “8/77”, confirming an August 1977 print date.

The Third Edition (1976–2001) introduced new personal stories and reflected A.A.’s continued worldwide growth. It also modernized some front matter while maintaining the foundational text unchanged from earlier editions.

Condition: Book is in excellent condition with minimal wear, tight binding, and clean, unmarked pages. The original dust jacket shows light edge wear but remains bright and complete.
