Not sure what the attraction is... Except it is as hard as hens teeth to find! Is it important?? Possibly not as a printed book. But, from Flake it seems as though the 1860's were the real low period (outside the 1830's) in LDS printing and publishing. I know of collector's who just collect the 1860's because of the challenge it produces! The D/C's from this period are as difficult at the 1866 Book of Mormon, but because there aren't as many D/C collectors, they don't seem to command the same level of prices. I find that folks that are collecting different editions of the Book of Mormon rarely have this one in their collection. One collector has 5 first editions - as well as excellent copies of the all the other 19th Century editions - but... No 1866! I've only ever had a couple - and I didn't hang on to them long enough to enjoy them! Folks say that the 1842 is rare - But I see about ten of them to every 1866 I see!! I wonder if anybody knows how many were printed?? Ummmm... Any out there for sale???? Malcolm J.

At least one other bookshelf member, Mark Holden, was in attendance and I had the chance to speak with him. Doug Cahoon was also there (is Doug on bookshelf?). Perhaps the highlight of meeting was a round-table discussion with Richard Bushman, Robert Remini, Klaus Hansen, Michael Quinn, Mark Scherer, and Newell Bringhurst re Joseph Smith's 1844 presidential bid. This will be available on CD-ROM, and the proceedings of the conference will be published. The best book award went to Glenn Leonard for his book on Nauvoo. The first annual award for lifetime achievement went to Leonard Arrrington, posthumously. Unfortunately I forgot who won the award for best article. Michael Quinn is working on a book on early Mormon polygamy, which I think holds a lot of promise. Jon Krakauer, the author of the Everest account "Into Thin Air" was in attendance. He is working on book on faith and dissent in Mormonism. He has been working on this book intensively for several years. I sat by Richard Bushman at the banquet, and had a chance to discuss his bio of Joseph Smith. Finally, I was driving down a quiet Nauvoo back-road, and saw the sign for Nick Literski, attorney, or Esquire, or something like that.

Regarding Krakauer, he has no formal ties to Mormons. He told me though that there were a lot of Mormons where he grew up (Oregon) and that he was impressed by them. As an example, he told me how a Mormon farmer had once spent half a day helping him to fix his car. My own opinion, which I have gathered from others, is that his work is quite accurate.

Malcolm mentions an interesting phenomenon among Mormon collectors, the penchant for collecting multiple copies of the 1st edition Book of Mormon. I have heard several other dealers mention collectors with 5 to 10 copies, so it seems that are at least several individuals who collect in this manner. I even heard tale of one collector with 20 copies of the 1830 BOM, although surely this must be apocryphal. This is a practice I don't understand. I have generally tried to follow the admonition of the great collector ED Graff, who said he only had one copy of each book, so that others could have the pleasure also of obtaining a given title. However, my following of this tenet is perhaps more a reflection of my budget than my altruism. Nevertheless, my question is, why own multiple copies? It may be that some people are not collecting BOMS, but rather investing in them. Reviewing some pertinent facts makes this phenomenon even more interesting. Perhaps most importantly, the BOM has historically been a poor investment. From the early 1980's to the early to mid 1990's the BOM about doubled in value. During this time, the Dow Jones went up by approximately a factor of four or five. Nevertheless, in the early to mid 1990's was when, as far as I can tell, people started buying multiple copies, even though up to that time the BOM had been a poor investment. My belief is that the buying of multiple copies is what spurred the fantastic rise in price of the BOM, at least in part. Over the course of approximately 8 years the price went up about 10 fold,and it is hard for me to believe that this was due to dozens of new people entering the market, buying only a single copy. (Interestingly, if this pace continues for 80 to 90 years a BOM could be worth more than the combined output of the world economy during a given year.) Anyway, it is interesting phenomenon.

Not sure what the attraction is... Except it is as hard as hens teeth to find! Is it important?? Possibly not as a printed book. But, from Flake it seems as though the 1860's were the real low period (outside the 1830's) in LDS printing and publishing. I know of collector's who just collect the 1860's because of the challenge it produces! The D/C's from this period are as difficult at the 1866 Book of Mormon, but because there aren't as many D/C collectors, they don't seem to command the same level of prices. I find that folks that are collecting different editions of the Book of Mormon rarely have this one in their collection. One collector has 5 first editions - as well as excellent copies of the all the other 19th Century editions - but... No 1866! I've only ever had a couple - and I didn't hang on to them long enough to enjoy them! Folks say that the 1842 is rare - But I see about ten of them to every 1866 I see!! I wonder if anybody knows how many were printed?? Ummmm... Any out there for sale???? Malcolm J.

Hmmm. Maybe I'm just having a Monday morning senior moment, but what's the interest in the 1866 Book of Mormon?
