Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book - 4th Edition Portable Softcover
The Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book - 4th Edition Portable Softcover is the complete 575-page edition published by AA World Services in a more compact size for convenience. This edition includes the original 164 pages outlining the Twelve Steps and the A.A. program, along with 24 personal recovery stories from the 4th Edition.
This is the full 4th Edition text, not the 164-page abridged version. It contains both the foundational program chapters and the complete collection of personal recovery stories in a smaller, portable format.
The compact size makes it ideal for carrying to meetings, travel, daily step work, sponsorship, or keeping in a bag or vehicle while maintaining the complete content of the standard edition.
