This book was originally written in 1948 and published by Coll-Webb (owned by AA members in Florida) to help clarify the 12 steps laid out in the AA's Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book. It is now published and sold by Hazelden, the biggest publisher of recovery books. It was written prior to AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions which was released in 1953 and is not as condensed. What I like about this book it that it is limited to but a few pages and uses plain language for the newcomer and explains the meaning of each step in a simple and concise way. I like the older hardbound vintage books for the newcomers as they feel as though they are getting a real piece of history. I tell them to read the steps in the Big Book (and where they are) and also to go to Step Study meetings where there will be discussion of the steps from the Twelve and Twelve. This book can easily be carried around and is a good reference book.
These are in my humble opinion required reading for anyone interested in recovery from any addiction. Simply follow the directions as though your life depends on it. Results will follow every time without fail.
