Nice Little Comapnion Book, March 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: As Bill Sees It: The A. A. Way of Life ...Selected Writings of the A. A.'s Co-Founder (Hardcover)
This was originally titled "The AA Way of Life", but was later changed because the book was the veiwpoint of only one man - Bill Wilson. There is a lot of plain basic common sense and wisdom in these snippets gleaned from years of Wilson's writings. It's not bad for use as a reflective reader for daily meditation/contemplation.

A pithy wide-range sampling of the thinking of AA's founder., October 4, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: As Bill Sees It: The A. A. Way of Life ...Selected Writings of the A. A.'s Co-Founder (Hardcover)
The book, "As Bill Sees It", delivers exactly what the title promises. This is a gleaning of the best thinking of the founder of AA. Whether you are well acquainted with AA literature, or simply a curious first time reader, this book is an excellent resource.
The text is a compilation from a variety of Bill W.'s works, including letters and talks given as well as selections from the "Big Book", AA's Bible. Each selection centers around a particular topic or theme, and is succinct and though-provoking. The exhaustive index is very helpful, and guides the reader to other works in which the subjects are covered in greater detail.
I recommend this book to anyone who has a desire to stop drinking, as well as to the family and friends of alcoholics who seek a greater understanding.

Practical, July 3, 2002
This review is from: As Bill Sees It: The A. A. Way of Life ...Selected Writings of the A. A.'s Co-Founder (Hardcover)
Nice solid companion reader. Its brief readings are good for the newcomer to help take the program's teachings in smaller bites.
Well worth adding to your library.
