Near Fine
Description
New York: Works Publishing Company, 1939. First edition. Near Fine. A very Nearly Fine copy of the book. Spine gilt a trifle dulled and a small ding to one corner. Previous owner's name on the front end paper in pencil, "Wm M Jefferson," otherwise unmarked internally. One of approximately 5,000 first edition copies, and uncommon in this condition. Housed in a custom leather clamshell case. First published in 1939, Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered from Alcoholism has become one of the most popular books of all time, selling more than thirty million copies and inspiring one of America's most enduring social movements. William Griffith Wilson, also known as Bill W., and Robert "Dr. Bob" Smith were inspired to write the "Big Book" by their own paths to sobriety, a method that would later become known as the "twelve-step program." The Big Book has since been translated into numerous languages and was designated by the Library of Congress as one of the eighty-eight books that shaped America. "Lest this title should arouse the risibles in any reader let me state that the general thesis of Alcoholics Anonymous is more soundly based psychologically than any other treatment of the subject I have ever come upon. And it is a subject not to be neglected, for, irrespective of whether we live under repeal or prohibition, there will be alcohol addicts, precisely as there are drug addicts" (contemporary New York Times review).

Description
Birmingham or Sheffield, 1770. Oblong folio. 390 x 220 mm. (15 1/4 x 8 3/4 inches). Vellum spine over decorative blue paper wrappers, paper label with title in Italian on upper board and ink title in Italian on spine. Paper stock toned with age, a few leaves with staining in the margin, otherwise in good condition. Silversmith model book, containing 80 full-page engravings of candles sticks and holders, candelabra, pitchers, plates, salt and pepper shakers, serving utensils, silverware, and other household pieces. Each image is beautifully and careful engraved, with rich detail and ornamentation. Each includes a printed product number as well as one in ink with a different item number and a price. Although there is no title-page or signatures of engravers, this large sales catalogue appears to be English as some of the engravings have English words of explanation engraved in the text. The binding is definitely Italian, and the paper label is in an Italian hand. The watermark is a "fleur de lis" pattern suggesting an international company manufacturing the silver. There were only a few English companies with the capacity to export at this time, including silver works in Sheffield and Birmingham both of which by 1770's had established networks of dealers selling their wares across the continent. This catalogue, with specific Italian connections is very unusual and suggests the scope of the business had reached export capacity by the third quarter of the century. The most important Italian silver makers at this time were Giardini of Rome and Venuti of Naples. .
