NEW YORK—A 161-page typed manuscript that became the guiding text of Alcoholics Anonymous will get its first public exhibition next month before being sold at auction. The auction firm Profiles in History announced Wednesday that it will sell the 161-page typed manuscript on June 8 in California. The document is expected to fetch $2-3 million (U.S.). It will be displayed for three days at the Questroyal Fine Art gallery in Manhattan from May 18-20, giving the public a glimpse at the text that is known to AA adherents as the “Big Book.”Read more:Agnostic alcoholics welcomed back into AA foldReddit’s unlikely answer to the fight against alcohol addiction
