It is true that Bill and Bob got a piece of every Big Book sale, I don’t remember what the percentage was but they got something. Bill and Lois had no kids, Dr. Bob had two, and I believe they are alive today, but I don’t think they get anything from Big Book sales. Again, I may have this wrong, but full ownership of the Big Book is now held by Alcoholics Anonymous World Service alone.
If I have any of this wrong, I am sure someone will chime in.
