New Products: Mormon History and Doctrine
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Several books on Mormon history and doctrine
are among the new products this week. Morris Shirts' account of the
Iron mission, Brigham Young's attempt to process iron ore in Southern
Utah, is being released by BYU in both hardcover and paperback
editions and the University of Illinois Press has released a new
paperback edition of Edwin Firmage's classic legal history of the
early LDS Church, "Zion in the Courts." Meanwhile, Griffin Books, the
paperback imprint of national publisher St. Martins Press, has
released Coke Newell's "Latter Days" in paperback.
That "Latter Days" has been released in paperback is a strong vote
for the book, which came out in hardcover last year just after
President Gordon B. Hinckley's "Standing for Something." But unlike
President Hinckley's book, "Latter Days" didn't attract much
attention from LDS Church members, instead selling to the general
public.
