After spending an hour in vain searching for the "spiritual axiom", I wondered if there might be a better way. For years, I had been programming computers to process free-form text (sentences and words). I wondered if a "slice and dice" of the Big Book and the 12&12 might be helpful.

Six months later, thousands of lines of computer code was complete and 100 copies of 164 and More were printed. Raffles at various events and gifts to individuals brought the book into circulation. People even asked where they could buy a copy.

The response was so encouraging that printing was commissioned and this web site was developed. I hope you find the book and the web site helpful in your study of the A.A. literature.
