Love AA history and this book didn’t disappoint with interesting and cool new factoids (or hagiographic remembrances) and all things early to modern AA. The unexpected gift was a clearer understanding, after nearly 18 years in the program of the primary purpose, the steps, and what’s fundamental to working with others. Took off 1-star for the stream of consciousness writing style but it’s probably more like 4.5-4.75 stars.

Amazing book!!!

Great story telling brings 12 steps to life
If you haven’t heard him speak find some tapes
He gave all he had to this world
