Description

Offered here is the First Printing (1967) of The A.A. Way of Life: a reader by Bill — the original form of the book later renamed As Bill Sees It. This early hardcover gathers short, powerful selections from Bill W.’s writings—drawn from A.A. books, Grapevine pieces, letters, and talks—organized by topic for reflection, meditation, and discussion.

Important early-issue note: The first and second printings are the only ones associated with the original gray dust jacket that does not reference the later title As Bill Sees It (this copy is missing its dust jacket). Beginning with later printings, the book was marketed under the title As Bill Sees It with a different jacket design.

A meaningful early piece of Bill W. print history and an excellent companion volume for collectors of A.A. literature and “Bill W.” shelves.
