One of my current reading sources may fall well short of the intellectual level of this list, but I wanted to mention it because it is having a positive effect on my own life. The book has never received any mention as far as I know, because it is not academic in tone or content. I picked it up cheap from Edward Hamilton,Bookseller. It is Taber's Mormon Lives published by U.of Illinois in 1993. Chronicaling the 1984 year in the the Elkton Maryland ward during the tenure of Richard Bushman as Bishop, the portion of the book with impact is the excepts from a wide variety of extensive interviews with most of the ward members referred to in the event narrative which is the thread on which the volume hangs. To see such a cross section of people, with their divergent background mention where they agree and where they struggle with what the church teaches, and its policies, mentioning some of the issues and problems we all encounter as we have involvement with the church, is refreshing. Further, it is a bit of an untypical testimonial as to how the church holds together for the most part,and experiences less violent and intense schisms than the bulk of denomenations. Most of you have likely either read it years ago, or really wouldn't perhaps see it as meriting attention, but it is a very different kind of contemporary church history, and is having an uplifting personal effect, as I deliberately slowly read the snippets of life stories contained therein.

It has only the following printing info on the copyright page: Second Edition Revised and Enlarged September 1991 There is no explicit statement as to the printing nor is there a printing number line. Brian's post indicates there were 3 printings of the Covenant reprint edition in addition to the Deseret Book edition. David assumes that the 3 printings include the Desert Book first edition as the first printing. Anyone know for sure? It has also been reprinted recently in a trade paper edtion.

I was a shelfer four to = five years ago, and owe so much to what I learned on the shelf from many = of you. I dropped off the shelf, due to some technical difficulties, but = as I followed the discussions on the archives, I didn't appear to miss = much. =20 Enough with the babble and on to my question. There was a book written by = Sidney B.

I have heard, and I = don't recall my source, that this book was received somewhat cooly by = general church leaders and also by the general membership. I understand = it only went through one small printing and then was not reprinted despite = demand for the book. =20 I have only seen a couple over the years, so it appears to be difficult to = find, but I don't know how scrarce, if at all, this book is. Does anyone = know the rest of the story or the truth of the story of this book? What = would you place its value at (assuming good condition with dust jacket)? = Is it scarce, rare, difficult to find? Any information anyone has would = be helpful and interesting. Thanks.
