Due to the fact that “we” lost the copyright to the first edition (by the Grace of God) Anonymous Press was born.
To quote from their website “
About The Anonymous Press
What we do is sell books and software containing the basic text of Alcoholics Anonymous. We also print study editions of the text as well as reprints of first edition of The Big Book. All our books are sold at cost and our goal is to carry the A.A. message.

Statement of Purpose
The Anonymous Press is made up of a bunch of A.A. members staying sober by carrying the message of A.A. Our primary purpose is to carry the message of A.A. by making our basic text affordable to all. Where we can, we also try to make the text easier to study and understand.
We realize that A.A., The Fellowship that saved our lives, is held together by The Traditions so The Traditions are what guide us. All of our books are sold at cost and we are certainly not organized.
Our efforts have resulted in the distribution of our fellowship’s basic text to hundreds of thousands of fellow alcoholics who otherwise may not have had a book of their own. Detoxes, rehabs, prisons and shelters can now afford to give away our text – offering countless alcoholics a chance to learn the unadulterated message of our program.”
Whatever happens, I can always buy the First Edition from Anonpress.org and anyone who works with me will be using the Book, Alcoholics Anonymous 1st- 3rd Editions.
I will not accept the 4th Edition, the 5th Edition and certainly not The Big Book for Dummies.
