Grandin Building

 Next we visited the Grandin Building where the Book of Mormon was first published.  When we visited here 8 years ago, we ran into Len's uncle, and cousin & his wife and kids.  Small world!
 This is the 3rd floor where the type was set.
 Here on the 2nd floor is where the pages were inked.
This is the main floor and book store.  The original order was for 5,000 copies and cost $3,000 to print them.  The job took 7 months to complete and then the books were sold for $1.25 (after the price was reduced from $1.75- an average two days' wage.)  Now it is translated into 107 languages and available world-wide!
