September 7 in A.A. History

In 1939, Lois W. [near right] noted in her diary that Hank [P.] [far right] remained drunk.

In 1954, A.A. in the U.K. reprinted the U.S./Canada first edition of the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous, marking the first such reprint outside the U.S. [far left: U.K. Big Book 1st edition, 1st printing with dust jacket; near left: copyright page]. They would later do the same with the U.S./Canada second edition. The release of the third and fourth editions in the U.K. would coincide with their release in the U.S./Canada. All four U.K. versions contained the same stories as the U.S./Canada editions, although there was initial consideration of including uniquely British stories.
