The Book of Mormon

Over at ChurchOfEnoch.org Library, there is a special translation of The Book of Mormon called the Key of Joseph Translation. Here is what the Library has to say about it:
This is a revision of The Book of Mormon intended to faithfully complete the unfinished work of revision that Joseph Smith Jr. commenced in 1836 and continued to perform through 1842, at which point he apparently became occupied with other important matters concerning the completion of the Temple, the Anointed Quorum, city affairs of Nauvoo, and his campaign to run for President of the United States. His assassination/martyrdom in 1844 ultimately prevented him from finishing this work and others such as his Inspired Translation of the Holy Bible.

I would encourage everyone to take a look at this book, and compare it to the original and other editions. In addition to being "smooth reading" by having an added level of clarity to the text, the changes are clearly marked and this combined with the scripture reference notes scattered throughout the text are bound to provide a valuable resource for study and inquiry.
