My favorite aa historian in Oklahoma city
(his sponsor is Earl H)
writes me: March 21 2007
L.D. -
It was written by Ray Harrison who in 1941 became the
first person to get sober in the state of Iowa. He was a judge. He
self-published the book and there was only one printing. It's not a real
rare book and, like all AA things, eBay has caused the value to drop
significantly. I bought a copy about 15 years ago and paid $XX.00 for it.
When one appears on eBay these days, it usually sells for about
$X0.00-$X0.00. There are lots of signed copies floating around because he
apparently gave a copy to everyone he met and always inscribed them. He gave
Clancy Imuslund a copy many years ago and inscribed it To Clancy from
Clancy. It is a hardcover and is red in color. There is a caricature of a
drunk holding on to a light post in the lower right corner of the front
cover.
Hope this helps, Bill
The book is bound in red
leather. Has a picture of a drink wrapped around a light
pole on the front. It may or may not be inscribed by
Clancy or Ray Harrison.
