- Ick! I picked up a copy at a library book sale years ago. IMHO (which is
- shared by an LDS friend of mine) it's an almost impenetrable pseudo-
- Elizabethan mess (NOT a flame against any LDS people -- it's just that
- Joseph Smith was not a great writer). I picked up another book later which
- is a modern English introduction to the narrative of the Book of Mormon --
- never set down and read it, if anyone's interested I'll try and dig it out.
