{"product_id":"alcooliques-anonymes-french-quebec-blue-jacket-12-82","title":"Alcooliques Anonymes — French Big Book | Québec Edition, Blue Dust Jacket","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Big Book’s history is also a history of translation: the same message carried into new languages, communities and reading lives. This French-language \u003cem\u003eAlcooliques Anonymes\u003c\/em\u003e, with its blue dust jacket and gilt-lettered dark binding, represents that French-speaking recovery tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume identifies the Service de la littérature A.A. du Québec in its distribution information. Its contents bring together the recovery program, personal accounts and supporting A.A. material in French, making it an interesting companion to the English-language books on a collector’s shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe publication details deserve a careful distinction. The copyright page carries a fourth-quarter 1977 legal-deposit statement for the national libraries of Québec and Canada, while the bottom of that page bears the code \u003cstrong\u003e6000-12-82\u003c\/strong\u003e. The latter is consistent with a December 1982 printing, but the printing sequence has not been independently established. This copy is therefore identified by its actual printed statements rather than described as a first French printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails of This Copy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitle: Alcooliques Anonymes; French-language Big Book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuébec literature-service distribution information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegal deposit: fourth quarter 1977\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinting code: 6000-12-82\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark cloth binding with gilt lettering; blue illustrated dust jacket included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cloth shows light surface and extremity wear.
