Drunks Are Square Pegs 1942 By Charles Clapp. Dustcover says at bottom: "Courtesy Photo Depicts Jack Alexander's Alcoholics Anonymous story in the March 31, 1941 of the Saturday Evening Post.  (this date is incorrect) The author gives Bill Wilson's full name (brazen at the time) and states that he was the founder of AA.  This is a very rare and interesting book.

Charles Clapp's "Drunks Are Square Pegs", 1st Edition, published in 1942 by Island Press, New York. This is the second of Clapp"s three books. The other two being, "The Big Bender", 1938 and "Drinking Is Not The Problem, 1948. All three of these books are highly sought after and extremely hard to find. . FYI, the dustjacket states: "Courtesy photo depicts Jack Alexander's "Alcoholics Anonymous" story in the March 31, 1941, great issue of the Saturday Evening Post". Actually, Alexander's article was in the March 1, 1941 edition  (who else but a drunk would notice that?). I have seen this book sell for between $625- to $700\\\

From Clinebell Counseling Alcoholics"

We might add that the church has erred in that it often has made religion and the vitalities of life seem as opposites. Further it has often failed to create a healing fellowship which would attract people because it met their deep emotional needs. In his poem "The Little Vagabond," William Blake describes his contrasting feelings concerning what the church and the tavern have to offer in this respect:

Dear mother, dear mother, the church is cold
But the ale-house is healthy and pleasant and warm. 9. 9. Quoted in Charles Clapp, Jr., Drinking’s Not the Problem, How You Can Help a Potential Alcoholic (New York: Crowell and Co., 1949), p. 62.

 

from one of Dick b's history Articles

The alcoholic's problem–yesterday and today–is not merely the cessation of his drinking. Yes, many AAs can be heard to say: Anyone can stop drinking and often add: The problem is how to stay stopped. One of A.A.'s Oxford Group mentors, Charles Clapp, Jr., wrote a book about his drinking (The Big Bender). His later book was titled, Drinking's Not the Problem. Dr. Bob read them both (See Dick B., Dr. Bob and His Library). Clapp's two book titles make this point. The battle does not begin when we try to stop drinking. It begins when the alcoholic has to face the world without a drink. There's much more to the problem than drinking. One old saw that has made the rounds in A.A. for years says: If you sober up a horse thief, what do you then have? The answer is–a sober horse thief! There's more to the problem than drinking. And I'd go much much further than that based on my own real experience.

In fact, there was a fellow, Charles Clapp, an Oxford Grouper, who Bill had helped get sober in October of 1935. Charles had been working with Sam Shoemaker, but could not stay sober until he got help from Bill. Charles wrote a book called "The Big Bender" that relates that story. Clapp was from Bedford Hills. His book was written around 1938 and in 1942 he wrote another book called "Drunks Are Square Pegs." In that book he wrote that now that he understood everything about alcoholism, it would be possible for him to drink and control his drinking if he chose. In the A.A. Grapevine of about May 1945, he wrote that now that he had returned to Alcoholics Anonymous, that had you read his second book, to please disregard that information. I just wanted to add that note because we seldom hear about Charles, even though we do know about him, and I believe he was a member. Whether he stayed sober I do not know, although he did write another book, "Drinking Is Not The Problem," which was published in 1948.
