About As Bill Sees It
As Bill Sees It is a collection of selected writings by A.A. co-founder Bill W. The official publication description names acceptance, gratitude, and spirituality among its subjects and describes the book as a source for reading and discussion.
The selections are excerpted from the Big Book, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Grapevine, personal correspondence, and other writings. Each reading is brief and numbered rather than arranged as a continuous narrative.
A topical index organizes the collection by subject. It gives the reader a direct route to multiple numbered selections associated with the same theme.
The book is General Service Conference-approved. Its compact hardcover and softcover editions contain 360 pages; A.A.W.S. also publishes a 360-page large-print edition for readers with low vision.
The official book page provides the publication description and purchase routes. Separate official product pages identify the current hardcover, softcover, large-print, and electronic options.
