If people would like to get a PDF of either/both of these texts, you can do so. The costs are:
Joseph Smith and the Ancient World = $35
As Far as it is Translate Correctly = $15

Apologetics is brimming with the entrepreneurial spirit. This stems from the idea of why not make a buck off of those you are deceiving.

I wonder what the Tvedtnes estate has to say about this, or his family.

A quick Google search on Book of Mormon Land tours supports your thoughts.

I wonder what the President of the Interpreter Foundation thinks of this. There has been a long-standing *terror* about even the faintest whiff of priestcraft, and Interpreter and SeN have been staunch supporters of Boylan over the years….

Ah, but our dear Dr. Scratch, it is only priestcraft if others do it. Mormons never have to worry about it because in their minds it’s spreading the Gospel, not priestcraft.

Did Brother Boylan sell all his copies? I don’t see the offer on his blog. (I also don’t see a recent post of his on Richard Dutcher.)

Bobby B also has a lot of YouTube content behind a paywall. Those who wanted to join his AMA on YouTube were required to be a paying member. Fortunately for those of us who don’t see any value in paying for this, Bobby has posted the “Ask Me Anything” video for free here:
https://www.youtube.com/live/_niHQhfYq-A
It features such thrilling content as “well you guys are pretty quiet so maybe I should just end it here” around 22 minutes in.
I don’t know how a senior researcher for the B H Roberts foundation isn’t more wildly popular.

Did anyone hear anything about how he acquired the rights to these documents, assuming he has them?
