He wrote that volumes 4-9 will be chronological and contain everything imaginable by or connected to Joseph Smith. This includes letters to and from, revelations, legal documents, and so on. He wrote that each volume will have at least two editors. He also wrote that volumes 10-12 will have biographical sketches, index's and such. I am sure I do not do justice to Scott's words, but what he explained sure made me excited.

I've been out of town and I'm still catching up on my email (a mere 139 messages left to go). So I may not have seen all the responses to this inquiry, but I'd like to offer a few possibilities on this subject. First, I agree that Gaskell is a central resource in this area; his book was essential to my studies in library school in the late 70s. Note that he titles his book _A New Introduction to Bibliography;_ you might enjoy delving into the book he was updating, a real classic in the area of book description: McKerrow, Ronald B., _An Introduction to Bibliography for Literary Students._ Oxford University Press, 1927. (My copy is the thirteenth impression, 1977.) As to the history of the book, I really enjoyed Febvre and Martin's _The Coming of the Book: the Impact of Printing 1450-1800._ London: NLB, 1976. This is actually a translation by David Gerard of the original 1958 book _L'Apparition du Livre,_ but I don't read French that well, so my copy is in English. There's also Douglas McMurtrie's massive _The Book: The Story of Printing & Bookmaking Illustrated._ Oxford University Press, 1943. (I have only the twelfth printing from 1980.) McMurtrie is an interesting read; he also did a number of short studies on early Mormon and Utah printing that are useful. Along the more technical line Howard Greenfeld's _Books From Writer to Reader_ (Paper. New York: Crown Publishers, 1976) is a well-presented answer to your query about how books get made, from cradle to grave, so to speak. There's also Chandler Grannis, _What Happens in Book Publishing,_ Second Edition, Columbia University Press, 1967, for a descriptive treatment of the whole realm of publishing. Then, if your antiquarian interests get aroused, you really must read Joseph Moxon's _Mechanick Exercises on the Whole Art of Printing,_ New York: Dover Publications, 1978 (a paperback reprint of the earlier edition published by Oxford U Press in 1958 and revised in 1962). The original, however dates from 1683/84 and represents "by forty years, the earliest manual of printing in any language, and it put in writing a knowledge that was wholly traditional." So if you really want to know how to set up and operate a hand press, this is your reference source. Sorry if I go on just a bit. Books on books were an early interest of mine, and I couldn't resist sharing a few. Hugh Stocks hstocks@vii.com Computers will save the world!

These are "authentic" early books assembled from many partials. So you might get signatures and leaves from a dozen or more books assembled to collate complete by a hungry bookbinder who lays all moral responsibility at the feet of the dealer. We're not talking a single leaf or two being tipped in. We're talking multiple chunks and hunks. And then sold at top dollar, of course. I had heard about these uglies but hadn't seen them until one was shown to me this week by a novice collector who was quite proud. Unverified, but I wouldn't be the least surprised if there were occasional facsimile's tipped in. It can be tough to find all the partials you need to produce this kind of fine art. Rick's "Ewwwwww" is insufficient.

Before 1892? In a word, No. Well, actually, I can only speak with some authority about the English-language editions. I honestly don't know about early translations into other languages. The RLDS large-format edition was typeset at the same time as a pulpit edition of the Inspired Version (or JST as we now refer to it). This permitted the church to bind the BoM with the New Testament, literally fulfilling a plan of Joseph Smith's to publish the two books together. I haven't seen many copies of "The Two Records" (binder's title for this combination). Anybody know of copies on the market?
