The "Basic Text" is NA's "version" of the Big Book and it was written in 1982 and has been revised since then.

BTW, I am not a "member" of any 12-step recovery program, however I recognise that they can be of great help to many people. To make the statement that, "to put it very plainly, 12 step programs don't work" only shows ignorence on your part. They may not work for some, but you can not deny the vast number of people who have been helped over the years by these programs.
