1939 Publication and disappointment

"In April 1939, some 5,000 copies of the Big Book - titled Alcoholics Anonymous - roll off the press. After an anticipated Reader's Digest article fails to materialize and a radio broadcast results in no orders, sales are few and far between. This disappointment foreshadows a bleak summer for the New York fellowship."
