Dick B. has written about our history at great depth and more accurately. The author of this work consistently takes "leaps of logic" that is opinion, not historical fact. The author states he had access to archives "unseen" by others but with the exception of a couple items, everything is pulled from materials that have been available for years. Even citing a YAHOO chat board as one of his sources and for some reason he relies heavily on Frank Amos. The book is an entertaining read as he is an accomplished author, however being a writer and historian myself, who would love to have a look at the archives in New York and at Stepping Stones, I was sorely disappointed. So, it is an entertaining read, but little else. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The deepest dive yet into AA's foundational book. *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2019* A truly astonishing study: profoundly researched but also very readable. No one has previously made such exhaustive use of the AA archives. Ten years in the making! And you can see why on every page. Bill Wilson emerges as an ingenious fabulist who embroidered the truth of his experience, not out of dishonesty, but rather out of a desire to make it representative and thus more useful to fellow alcoholics. The most explosive finding has to do with Hank Parkhurst, who has until now been a shadowy figure in AA history. But he was not merely behind the scenes during AA's formation; he was arguably its true co-founder. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a wonderful book *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2020* What wonderful research the author did writing this book. The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is one of the most influential books of our times. It was so well written and thought through I often wondered how they did it, and Schaberg’s book tells you exactly how, why and when they did what they did.The 800 pages of his book shares so much about the development and personal stories of building A.A. It’s hard to capture the essence of this spiritual revolution that changed the lives of millions of people. Naturally, there were politics, economics, and personal egos all involved, and it’s a miracle that they were able to put it together and that it has grown to such an extent as it is today. Today, the book has been translated into 87 different languages.The founders of the Big Book, and there were many, put their careers and lives on the line to create this program of recovery and thank God they did. I highly recommend “Writing the Bib Book” to anyone who is interested in the history of the 12-step programs of recovery. The author has done a great job providing the history and background on the Writing of the Big Book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/141646536-writing-the-big-book-the-creation](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/141646536-writing-the-big-book-the-creation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
