Looking for a good book on AA

I have bought several books recently on Rational Recovery, SMART Recovery, SOS, but I wanted to get one on AA. I am trying to do my research on as many sober recover methods as possible, however, I don't have one on AA yet. Any suggestions?

Alcoholics Anonymous (found online and online in an audio version)

Dr. Bob and the Good Old Timers
(Bob's story--co-founder)

Pass It On (Bill W.'s story--co-founder)

Not-God, A History of Alcoholics Anonymous by Ernest Kurtz (a dry read as it was a dissertation, but full of good history)

Experience, Strength & Hope (stories of alcoholics who recovered through AA)

Twelve & Twelve (written about 15 years after the AA book--about the 12 steps and 12 traditions of AA)

AA Comes Of Age


Daily Reflections (daily meditations also found in the 12 step section on here)

As Bill Sees It (more daily meditations)

I recently found a new revision of the Big Book on Nook, called the EZ Big Book of AA. It's a paragraph by revision of the 1939 original--same content but updated language. Much easier to digest. The author is Anonymous. It's not an official AA book (with World Service Office approval).

Here is an article on AA - I haven't read it yet - I don't know if it's fit to eat!
