Robin W of Chicago IL tells his story at the 2nd Annual Rochester Roundup held in New York in March of 1993, he has one of those stories that is remarkable in the difference of before and after. I heard him tell his story at the Living Sober Roundup in San Francisco sometime in the late 1980's and I never forgot him, he makes quite an impression. NSFW

The Little Red Book

In 1942, Ed W. began teaching the “Twelve Step Study” classes that helped the Minneapolis Group achieve their 75% recovery rate. Then in 1946, he and Barry C. (The first sober A.A. in the state) published the lectures used for these classes as a book. Initially titled The Twelve Steps, it was affectionately nicknamed “The little red book.”

Back in print for the first time in more than 65 years, the original 1946 edition reveals firsthand how some of A.A.’s earliest members made the program their way of life. Everyone from newcomers to oldtimers will find a wealth of practical experience in this comprehensive guide to the Twelve Steps.

The Study Edition of The Big Book

I have one of these and it is one of my favorite items, a really excellent and useful for book study meetings or as a gift to a newcomer who is going to be heading to one.

The First 164 pages of The Big Book with lined blank pages opposite each page of text for note taking.
