Re: The People Behind the Stories in the Big Book

[Bpyboy]

Do you have a scanner? It would be a heck of a lot cheaper to mail a cd than
big stacks of paper.

Just a thought, (of course scanning that many pages would be a WHOLE lot of fun
too!)

thanks though,
It sounds like fascinating reading.

I only have the last edition of the BB. What has changed from the earlier
ones? I understand little has really changed in the organization in a very
long time (why mess with success, I suppose--if it works it works!)

thanks again,
off to work now

The stories at the back change, and each edition has a prelude.
Edition 1 was worded slightly differently in Step 12. Since then, the
first 164 pages remain untouched, despite the changes in language.

Not necessarily a good thing... women alcoholics sometimes have a hard
time relating to all the male-oriented language, and much of the God
stuff is pretty dated.
