Alcoholics Anonymous Australian Second Edition from 2015

This book is a First printing of the Australian Second Edition Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book from 2015. The content of this book is taken from the Fourth Edition of the big book in the United States.

From the Preface to this Second Australian Edition:

“IN this second Australian edition of "Alcoholics Anonymous," the traditional core of the text is based on the fourth North American edition. The first ('Commemorative') Australian edition, which was based on the third North American edition and printed in 1995, was a limited edition of 5000 copies and, as stipulated by the Australian General Service Conference, was a "one off" publication. These Australian editions retain, unchanged, our 'heritage' sections of the famous 'Big Book, while adding a full complement of Australian stories, from Australian members. As the Commemorative, first Australian edition was a one off publication; all 41 Australian stories contained therein have now been replaced with 35 new Australian stories.

This is to not only reproduce another Big Book for publication but to have a volume that best represents the Australian stories in today's culture and that can be reprinted and distributed for years to come. The publication of this Big Book (A.A. members' fond nickname for these volumes) also marks A.A. in Australia's 70th Anniversary, and has been launched at the 2015 Australian National Convention in Newcastle, New South Wales.

A.A. Publishing was established in 1967 in Australia and since 1986 the Big Book has included American stories, until the Commemorative Australian edition in 1995.“
