From the Grass Roots

AT A RECENT MEETING of our group the question of a paper-back edition of the book Alcoholics Anonymous came up, one that should retail at 25¢ to 50¢. It was the opinion of all present that such a book would be far better, and do more for AA, than the present very expensive book. Many newcomers to AA simply cannot afford the present price of the Big Book, whereas they could well afford and would gladly pay 25¢ to 50¢. There are many AAs in this area (some on the program for several years) who do not have a Big Book for the reason, so they say, that they cannot afford it.
