Are the older editions hard to find? Otherwise, I don't see the purpose of a reprint without some new contribution from the publisher or editor. <br /><br />Maybe it's a term of art that I don't fully understand, but as a buyer and reader I would expect a "reprint" to reproduce the original in all except, perhaps, cover design and binding. You're not at all too picky to list the omissions from the original in the Grandin "reprint," since that isn't what I would expect.Ardis E.

Kimball</em> because it was the place I was introduced to that hoary old fable, Moroni's dedication of the Manti Temple site.<br /><br />I haven't read this biography since I was a teenager and too green to appreciate many of the points you note. Thanks. I'll have to read through this again.Ardis E. Parshallhttp://www.keepapitchinin.orgnoreply@blogger.com
