BUYER BEWARE.

This book is not published by AA World Services. The title implies to the prospective purchaser that this volume is in some way affiliated and endorsed by Alcoholics Anonymous.

The inference that this is an AA book ("AA" as author) is an unfortunate trend that has recently appeared. The cover of the book states "Including: New Personal Stories for the Year 2007". Does this mean we should now watch for new "versions" of the Big Book with new stories every year? Will they "update" the basic text next?

Someone is making money by presenting this as coming from AA - and it is not from AA. Better to support the New York AA World Services.

This review is from: Alcoholics Anonymous - Big Book Special Edition - Including: New Personal Stories for the Year 2007 (Paperback)

Although the basic content is here, there are so many typographical errors and missing words to make this almost seem like a fake copy of any original that someone did to try to make some extra money.

The one redeeming feature of this volume are the updated stories for 2007 that are always interesting and inspirational.

If you are considering buying this edition for your main AA reference, I would strongly recommend against buying it. I would suggest either the standard hardcopy version or the pocket sized soft cover edition.

This is NOT A.A. General Service Conference approved literature! To use the A.A. name on this product is misleading at best and criminal at worst. Total ripoff!
