While GA has a very extensive collection of literature
available listed below are six of our more key pieces of literature
used within the Fellowship and at meetings.

Yellow Booklet (Combo Book)
17 Pages
Designed as an
introduction to Gamblers Anonymous as well as the Recovery and Unity
Programs. Is the most widely used piece of literature GA has, as it is
read at almost all GA groups. Also, this is generally given freely to
newcomers, to help them understand what GA is about. Contains the 20
Questions on pages 15 and 16. |

Blue Booklet (Towards 90
Days)
24 Pages
This booklet is
designed to help a compulsive gambler through the early days in the
Fellowship. Contained within these pages, one will find practical
advice that has been tried and tested down through the years by many
compulsive gamblers. Also included within this booklet is an
introduction to Gam-Anon, for those significant others involved with a
compulsive gambler. |

Maroon Booklet (Beyond 90
Days)
24 Pages
This booklet, one of
the newest pieces of literature introduced by Gamblers Anonymous, is
for those who have been in the Fellowship more than 90 days - in some
cases for many years. On the road of recovery, many obstacles confront
compulsive gamblers. This booklet tries to confront some of those
obstacles. |

Big Book of Gamblers
Anonymous
"Sharing Recovery
Through Gamblers Anonymous"
227 Pages
(including Appendices)
This book is the
centerpiece of Gamblers Anonymous literature. Chapter 1 starts with
looking at compulsion and compulsive gambling, defining the disease
concept and dispelling the moral deficiency concept. Other chapters
cover the many, many tools of GA - from meetings to Pressure Relief to
12 Step work. Also included are stories from compulsive gamblers
including the founder of our fellowship, Jim W. There is extensive
work also included from Dr. Robert L. Custer, a foremost expert on
compulsive gambling as well as a great benefactor (in knowledge and
spiritual support) of GA. |

Red Book
"A New Beginning"
108 Pages
(including Personal Stories)
The Red Book of GA is
an extension of our big book. In this book, a member and a group may
find more detailed guidance on both personal recovery and group
functionality. The Recovery and Unity steps are presented in more
detail, for example. Our service structure is explained to a greater
degree along with its responsibilities. And, just as in the Big Book,
there is an international collection of personal stories. |

8 Pages
A question and answer
format presented to help understand the concept of sponsorship as it
applies to Gamblers Anonymous and the recovery process. An invaluable
tool for those sponsoring someone as much as those seeking a sponsor. |
