2001 The Big Book's Fourth Edition

"In November 2001, a new edition of the Big Book - the culmination of four years of development and 25-plus committee meetings - rolls off the presses. While the first 164 pages remain unchanged, the new edition includes the stories of 41 sober alcoholics (24 new stories and 17 "keepers" from the third edition) reaching a wider cross-section of membership by reflecting the breadth of A.A. experiences, ages, beliefs, and ethnicities. G.S.O. New York sends a complimentary copy of the new fourth edition to groups in the U.S. and Canada."
