Description: We are the ONLY seller offering this Heritage edition BRAND NEW on Ebay. Sometimes it's sold as the “Herald House” edition. Others sell it on Ebay second-hand, listing it “used” or "like new." But our copies of this Heritage edition are almost always the ONLY ONES COMPLETELY NEW and SHRINK-WRAPPED! This was the first hardcover replica of the 1830 Book of Mormon, first issued over 50 years ago. It is now out of print. IMPORTANT: We sell several replicas. We've had them all analyzed by experts. While this is NOT the best one, it does have some things going for it. (If you do want the VERY BEST, we recommend you get the replica from Stratford Books / Grandin Artisans. Theirs is the ONLY ONE BOUND IN LEATHER, despite claims by some replica companies who use plastic -- simulated leather -- which they market as "leather".) Furthermore, the Stratford / Grandin replica IS THE ONLY ONE WITH CORRECT SPINE DESIGN + MOST CORRECT PAPER, etc etc. BRAND NEW it costs $39.95, even cheaper than this “Heritage Edition” replica. DETAILS OF THIS "HERITAGE" REPLICA: Published by Herald Publishing House (the publishing arm of the Community of Christ church in Independence, MO), it was great for decades because it was for years the only one. As with all 1830 replica brands, the text on this one is correct to the original First Edition. (However, some brands have digitally altered the “image” of many pages of the original text. Fortunately, this replica does not do that, maintaining its authenticity). However, in this “Heritage Edition” (as with most brands), there are certain other drawbacks. For example, the spine art work is inaccurate (as it is with most replicas) and the pages aren't quite as readable as the best replica brand. (All 1830 replica brands have some fading because they are scanned from original, old 1830 copies, but some have more fading than others. The Stratford / Grandin version has the most readable, UNALTERED text of most pages of all the replicas.) Finally, on this “Heritage Edition” version and others, the positioning of the pages is wrong in back, and the color of the cover is not close to being accurate to the original as published in 1830. (Only the Stratford /Grandin version is accurate to the color of the cover when it was published, as well as to the correct weight and thickness). But this is a nice replica for the nostalgia. Also, if you're not picky, this Herald House version works if you want something in the ballpark. We've been selling replicas for years and analyzed in detail all versions, comparing them to several original First Edition copies. Hope this helps.
