5.0 out of 5 stars Good price, great book., March 27, 2000
By A Customer
It used to be that these reprints were real expensive. It is great to be able to get them now at a reasonable cost. Hard not to give the highest rating because this is the book that saved my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars The origianal life saver, April 26, 2000
To have a reproduction of an orignal text book that has in my opinion "quietly changed the world, one seemingly hopeles person at a time" at such a remarkably low price is phenominal knowing that when I did a search on the internet through several different auction it was rare to find an origianal first edition in good to excelent condition for under $1,000.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for those on "the path", April 8, 2002
By Karl Miller "kemspeaks" (Phoenixville, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For over 60 years, AA's "Big Book" has brought comfort and hope to millions looking for a way through the fire of alcoholic addiction. The reprint of the "First Edition" (the book is now in it's Fourth) allows a look at the origin of the program, as well as an opportunity to assess the changes that have occurred in the last 60 years.
The first 164 pages remain unchanged, as well as the inclusion of certain stories (Dr. Bob's Nightmare, among others). The first edition contains stories of "lower bottom" drunks than the more recent editions, but also makes clear that the foundation of the program, primarily untweaked since the founding, represents a true course of recovery for the interested.
No matter which edition of the book you own, reading the 1st edition gives a great perspective, from both a historical and a spiritual angle, of what arose from that first meeting of Bill W. and Dr. Bob.
