Drinking’s Not The Problem by Charles Clapp Jr.

This is a special piece of history as it’s been inscribed and signed by the author Charles Clapp Jr.

The inscription reads:

”To Dorothy + John Paris(?) - With Best Wishes. Charles Clapp Jr. 11 Feb 1950.”

This is a first printing that was published in 1949. This book has the original dust jacket. This is a very rare and difficult book to find today!

This book was written with the purpose of educating and helping the “potential alcoholic”.

Charles Clapp was an Oxford Grouper, who AA founder Bill W had helped get sober in October of 1935. Clapp had been associated with Sam Shoemaker, but could not stay sober until he got help from Bill. Clapp was from Bedford Hills. Clapp is also the author of the books: “The Big Bender” and “Drunks are Square Pegs”.

This book is in excellent condition with minimal wear. The inscription is on the first page and there is no writing or markings in the book. The original dust jacket is in excellent condition with only some minor edge wear and stains.
