Book signing set for latest volume of 'Smith Papers'

The editors of the latest book on the Joseph Smith Papers will speak and sign books on Thursday, Oct. 1.

"The Joseph Smith Papers: Revelations and Translations, Manuscript Revelation Books," published by The Church Historian's Press of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was edited by Robin Scott Jensen, Robert J. Woodford and Steven C. Harper. Two of the editors will speak about the Joseph Smith papers project at the event, sponsored by Benchmark Books.

Because of an expected large attendance, the event will held at the Columbus Center, 2531 S. 400 East, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The editors will speak at 6 p.m. and answer questions from the audience, signing books before and after the speech.

The volume, the second overall in the Joseph Smith papers, is the first of the Revelations and Translation series, which provides transcripts of many of the earliest manuscripts of Joseph Smith's written revelations and translations.
