Alcoholics Anonymous
Health & Wellness Self-Help Psychology Mental Health Spirituality Addiction & Recovery Personal Transformation
The 2001 fourth-edition hardcover of Alcoholics Anonymous is the most up-to-date printing of the book that has guided millions toward sobriety since 1939. This 575-page volume contains the complete, unabridged text—every one of the original 12 Steps and 12 Traditions, plus forty-two personal recovery stories that have been refreshed to reflect contemporary experience. Bound in sturdy navy cloth with silver-stamped spine and protected by an unfaded dust jacket, it presents the program exactly as it is used in today’s AA meetings worldwide, making it the reference of choice for both newcomers and old-timers who want the latest approved literature on their shelf.
What sets this copy apart is its condition: crisp, clean pages that show no smoke or musty odor, tight hinges, and a jacket free of edge-tears—uncommon for a 20-plus-year-old hardcover that has often been carried in tote-bags and passed around meeting rooms. Because it is the 4th edition, it includes gender-neutral language, updated medical information, and modern addiction science, yet still preserves the timeless Big Book feel that collectors and daily readers prize. For anyone building a recovery library, gifting a sponsor or sponsee, or simply replacing a worn working copy, this is the edition that aligns with current AA conference-approved literature.
Beyond its practical use, the book remains a cultural icon—referenced in film, television, and memoirs—and a proven tool for lasting sobriety. Owning a well-preserved hardcover signals commitment to recovery and provides a tangible, durable resource for step-work, meeting preparation, and lifelong reference.
