This book by Brian Hauglid was published in April of 2011. I have not seen any reviews; other than those describing the contents.
This publication supposedly contains color copies of the original Book of Abraham manuscripts. This is the first time the Church has allowed publication of this material.

There are color copies, but as far as color copies go, the quality
wasn't really that great. The photos should have taken up the entire page, but it was more like 50% of the page or maybe less. I was disappointed with the quality. The material used for the book was top notch, but the scans of the photos were poor. Or, I should probably say, too small to really be of any use to anyone trying to do textual analyses.
Hauglid said the book is not apologetic and for the most part it isn't.

Kevin, based on your information and the high price, I will not be purchasing this book. You stated "Hauglid said the book is not apologetic and for the most part it isn't." Probably a wise decision on his part as the apologetic positions on the Book of Abraham are quite far-fetched and hard to believe.
