First floor of the publisher's building. Here the first 5,000 copies of the BOM were published. Took 7 months to do the printing and 2 1/2 years to bind them all. Total cost was $3,000.
Will checks out another book published by E.B. Grandin near the same time as the Book of Mormon.
Enoch takes a picture with his new phone of the type set used.
Enoch and Adelynn check out all the tools used for the binding of the books. Right behind them are the tools used to put the gold lettering on the outside binding.
The staircases of the building were too narrow to trasport the pages from the top floor to the middle floor for binding. So a pully system was used to lower the pages. The difficulty of making such a large order of books again made me grateful for the many sacrifices made to bring forth the Book of Mormon.
