The next volume to release (late summer 2009) is the first volume of the Revelations and Translations series. It will present a transcription and photographic reproduction of each page of the two manuscript revelation books used by early scribes of Joseph Smith. This unprecedented access—the first publication of one of the revelation books—allows readers to own some of the earliest copies of the revelation manuscripts, including those used to print the Book of Commandments and 1835 Doctrine & Covenants. The book will include an introductory essay with the balance of the book showing reproductions of the manuscripts. Owning a copy will be like having access to hand-written documents of historical significance in your own home or office. To allow good readability of the reproduced documents, this series will publish at a larger size of 9" x 12" and estimated to be just under 800 pages. With large size and specifically selected papers with coated color finishing, each book is estimated to weigh between seven and eight pounds. This is the second book to be released in the comprehensive Joseph Smith Papers ...
