Miracles in Printing the 1830 Book of Mormon

A couple of years ago, I was given a small booklet entitled Miracle on Palmyra’s Main Street. It was written by Gordon Weight, an “old-time” printer and current LDS institute teacher. Using his knowledge of printing, he retraces the events surrounding the printing of the 1830 Book of Mormon and explains the miracles that took place from a printer’s perspective.

Without going into much detail here about the content, I would absolutely recommend this booklet. It is an easy read and sheds an interesting light on the subject. In a more thorough discussion, Ph.D. scientist John Pratt reviews the book from a scientific perspective and “tests” the assumptions and conclusions of the author.
