Alcoholics Anonymous First Edition 16th Printing from 1954 with ODJ

This is a First Edition Sixteenth Printing of the Big Book with an original dust jacket.

This was the last printing of the First Edition Big Book. It was unexpected for this printing to be released due to plans for the 2nd Edition release date in 1955. There was a need for more books to be printed ahead of the scheduled release because the 15th printings were selling so fast! There were only 15,700 printings released in August 1954.

This book is in very good condition and comes with the original dust jacket. The navy-blue cover shows a stain on the back cover. The gilt lettering is bright and looks great. There are no writing or markings inside this book.

The original dust jacket is in good condition with some edge wear and stains.
