AAWS Pamphlets Price Increases

San Francisco and Marin Intergroup is following A.A. World Services’ lead by increasing the price of some of our pamphlets. On May 1, AAWS announced a price increase on select pamphlets and the pamphlet rack due to supply chain issues and the rising cost of paper. Click here for the updated 2024 Literature Price List. Intergroup sells basic literature, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions at cost, however for other A.A. literature we add a small mark-up to help with operating the bookstore.
