From "'Alcoholics Anonymous' - the Big Book:"
"By April 1939, Alcoholics Anonymous was a fellowship with its own basic text and program.
"There was one last question to be discussed and argued before the presses began rolling: What would be the list price? They finally decided on $3.50, rather high for 1939. To compensate for the price, they chose the thickest paper.
The original volume proved to be so bulky that it became known as the 'Big Book.'"
