Description: second edition The spelling of the first word on the 6th line of page XX, Forward, the first printing has "realy" while the second printings has it spelled correctly, "really." We have the second printing of the second edition and the word is spelled correctly. Both printings have the same footnote on page 16, ie "6000 groups 1955. 16 printings from 1939 to 1955, second edition, new and revised, 1955, states, *AA is now composed of nearly 6000 groups (1955), dust jacket flaps reads, Original published in 1939, when membership of the A. A. Fellowship was less than one hundred, the first edition of this book has now gone through more thatn 300,000 copies. To members, old and new, certain facts about our second edition may be of interest. Of course, the basic text itself, pages 1 to 165, remains substantially unchanged. To the minds of most A. A. s. this should stand as first written. But the front matter has been re-edited and enlarged, including an historical sketch. Additional recommendations from religion and medicine are given. A larger Appendix records the A. A. Tradition, and also shows how A. A. can best be reached from any part of the world. The Personal Story Section has, however, been much revised to meet the needs of an A. A. membership grown from 100 to more than 150,000. To afford readers a better view of our present membership, the Story Section of this edition now comprises thirty-seven case histories, an addition of 110,00 words of completely new material. Special attention is drawn to Part II of the stories entitles, The Stopped in Time". These will be of particular interest to all who wonder whether they are alcoholics and if A. A. is for them. This work is authorized by the General Service Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous in the confident hope that a new milestone has been erected upon the road of A. A. Progress. Dust jacket also indicated, If you wish to preserve complete personal anonymity when carrying this book, just turn this jacket inside out. It has been especially designed for your convenience., boards are rubbed at top and bottom (shelfwear), Dust jacket has 1" top portion of front missing and 1/2" missing above letering on spine, 1/4" missing from bottom of spine & worn around all edges, browning to inside of both boards, slight staining of spine on book.
