From "'Alcoholics Anonymous:'"

"By March 1939, pages [of the Big Book] were coming off the presses....For all the stumbling blocks in its preparation, 'Alcoholics Anonymous' turned out to be both attractive and appealing, worthy of its role as the basic 'textbook' of this new Fellowship. It had been completed in a single year, and it presented A.A.'s experience with alcoholism, plus the Twelve Steps program, in simple, direct language....Significantly, almost everything the book had to say about alcoholics' problems and their recovery is still applicable today."

c. 1984, 'PASS IT ON'...The story of Bill Wilson and how the A.A. message reached the world, pages 206-7
