Book of Mormon 1830 Edition Replication

The First Edition of the Book of Mormon was printed and bound in Palmyra, New York in the year 1830. The book’s translator and proprietor, Joseph Smith Jr., commissioned a young twenty-four year old printer by the name of E. B. Grandin to perform this task. Of the original 5,000 copies that were printed, less than 600 are known to exist today.

Historic Replication

In commemoration of the 175th Anniversary of this event, Experience Press™ has undertaken the historic replication of the original Book of Mormon, 1830 Edition. The expression “historic replication” refers to the fact that each book will be individually hand crafted using exact and similar types of materials and methods that were used to produce the original.

Great concept, and beautiful books.

Too bad this Mormon stuff is, like, completely made up.

Master of evil? Master of nuance.
