A stray ink drop and a quirk of nineteenth-century script make the difference between "retain that wrong" and "repair that wrong". More than a decade of meticulous research revealed such insights as Royal Skousen prepared transcripts of the original and printer's manuscripts of the Book of Mormon for publication.
Now published for the first time ever, the manuscripts help you discover the original phrasing of the Book of Mormon (including Hebrew-like expressions), provide surprising evidence on the process by which Joseph Smith translated, and show how editors and printers have modified the wording to make it conform to the expectations of contemporary English readers.
