The Big Book
Nick Name of the Book Alcoholics Anonymous

“We directed Mr. Blackwell [the printer] to do the job on the thickest paper in his shop. The original volume proved to be so bulky that it became known as the ‘Big Book.’
Of course the idea was to convince the alcoholic purchaser that he was indeed getting his money’s worth!”
