2014 Review:
One of those books I wish I had read years ago. I learned something new on every page. It should be read by anyone interested in the the Mormon Church and its doctrines, both believers and otherwise. Absolutely fascinating and essential.

Update 23 April 2021:
D. Michael Quinn (1944-2021)
In March, 2018, as President of the Friends of Merrill-Cazier Library at Utah State University, I had dinner with Quinn and Brad Cole, Dean of Libraries, before Quinn spoke at the Friends' lecture series. He was a very humble and kind man. I treasure our brief time together, our chat about England & history & libraries, and the note he left in my copy of this book.
