5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, November 19, 2000
By A Customer
I personally found the comment helpful. I would also like to recommend a recent jewel I found, An Encounter With A Prophet. In my humble opinion this book had to be written by someone in recovery and really good recovery!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Big Book Explained, November 3, 2001
By A Customer
I have always found the meaning of the text of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous hard to decipher but Frank D's book provides excellent reference notes that explain the Big Book in plain English.An added bonus is that it has made me read the Big Book again a number of years after first reading it.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it especially if you are relatively new to the 12 step programme of AA when the mass of information that is supplied by the Fellowship can be quite bewildering.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Remarkable Wonderful Tool, August 26, 2004
I have tried to be a careful student of the Big Book for many years. It is the most important book in my life. This volume is an invaluable tool for studying the Big Book. It's comments are clear, insightful, and helpful. It is clearly the product of years of study. The author keeps the comments brief, accurate and writes with style of deep humility that comes from practicing this program over time.

I rate this book as one of the top three tools to study the Big Book. The other two are Joe and Charlie tapes and e-AA, an electronic vesion of the Big Book with concordance, subject index, original manuscript etc from anonpress.org.

5.0 out of 5 stars for the BIG BOOK THUMPER or someone wanted to understand more.
I've been a great fan of the big book since I've gotten sober, this gave me more insight to it. I've bought quite a few and have given them away.
