Book of Mormon Manuscripts, More Work and the Glory Paperbacks

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Probably the most significant books introduced recently are the three volumes representing a decade of work by BYU Professor Royal Skousen. The books make the original written manuscript and printer's manuscript available to anyone that wishes to study them. In addition, Deseret Book has continued issuing the Work and the Glory series in paperback, adding volues 4 and 5 to the three issued earlier this year.

Also available are two books from Cedar Fort: an adventure novel that Cedar Fort says follows in the tradition of its popular "Storm Testament" series, and "All I Ever Needed To Know I Learned On My Mission," a missionary guide book.

New and recent products:
