A. Fellowship was less than one hundred, the first edition of this book has now gone through more thatn 300,000 copies. To members, old and new, certain facts about our second edition may be of interest. Of course, the basic text itself, pages 1 to 165, remains substantially unchanged. To the minds of most A. A. s. this should stand as first written. But the front matter has been re-edited and enlarged, including an historical sketch. Additional recommendations from religion and medicine are given. A larger Appendix records the A. A. Tradition, and also shows how A. A. can best be reached from any part of the world. The Personal Story Section has, however, been much revised to meet the needs of an A. A. membership grown from 100 to more than 150,000. To afford readers a better view of our present membership, the Story Section of this edition now comprises thirty-seven case histories, an addition of 110,00 words of completely new material. Special attention is drawn to Part II of the stories entitles, The Stopped in Time . These will be of particular interest to all who wonder whether they are alcoholics and if A. A. is for them.
