As you might know, I am interested in that subject. My analysis is probably quite different, however. Wish I could get a copy without the Danite army knocking on my door.

Pre requisite before accepting the accolades!!

Still no:

'Keeping it in the Family - the Joseph Smith Memoir'

and I'm holding my breath for this one...

Are these those same people who are persecuting our beloved brother Will? Why would I want anything to do with them?

Taking a page from you of course!  Putting "Books from MI" in the same requisite perspective of relevance or significance that you needed for the Mormon Musical!

Of course I'm not sure what would constitute the proper "awarding body" or what the "award" would be for the MI.

Maybe the Olivewood Bookstore hands out "Provos"??
