In the first 6 months of 2011 AAWS distributed 904,368 pieces of AA literature, compared to 864,161 for the same period in 2010.
The Grapevine continues to struggle despite a recent survey that 96% of the fellowship likes the AA but only 4% subscribe. The Grapevine is no long just “our meeting in print.” The print format, as well as past issues is available online cheaper than the physical copy, and audio copies of portions of The Grapevine are available for download to subscribers of Grapevine Online and Grapevine Complete.
