TSG Ep296 - Writing the Big Book: The Creation of Alcoholics Anonymous with William H. Schaberg

William H. Schaberg is a scholar, rare book dealer, writer and historian who recently published Writing the Big Book: The Creation of A.A. which illuminates the history of one of the most important spiritual movements of the 20th Century and gives readers an unprecedented look inside the creation of Alcoholics Anonymous, the basic text of the recovery movement that has sold more than 37 million copies worldwide. A result of eleven years of in-depth research, drawing on primary, real-time documents, William helps reveal the iconic stories of the founders of A.A., their motivations, and the obstacles they faced trying to bring their message of hope to a wider audience.
