This book lists every article/book written about the Book of Mormon up until the publication date of the book, both positive and negative, with a short summary (annotation). As a BYU student I spent many hours writing the annotations for this bibliography (all of those credited to AC, my maiden initials). Formative in my interest in Book of Mormon scholarship.
