The Book of Mormon

Military Edition Scripture

This is The Book of Mormon in a US Army military edition, a compact softcover printing made for service members who want scripture they can keep in a footlocker, a ruck or a cargo pocket. The cover carries the full title and the subtitle "Another Testament of Jesus Christ" in gold. It suits Latter-day Saint service members and veterans, chaplaincy collections, and collectors of issued military literature.

Features

• US Army Military Edition — This printing is catalogued under the US Army, so it comes from military supply rather than a civilian bookstore run.
• Burgundy Softcover — The flexible cover bends with the book instead of cracking at the spine, which helps when it rides in a pack or pocket.
• Leather-Grain Finish — The cover is embossed with a pebbled grain pattern that gives a sure grip and the look of a leather binding.
• Gold-Stamped Title — "The Book of Mormon" is set in large gold capitals between two thin gold rules, easy to read at a glance.
• Full Subtitle On Cover — The words "Another Testament of Jesus Christ" appear in gold below the title.
• Compact Format — The paperback build keeps weight and bulk down compared with a hardbound edition.
• Collector Interest — Military editions of religious texts are sought by collectors of issued kit and by reenactors building out a period footlocker.

US Army Provenance

Keep Shooting stocks this as genuine issued material, the same military edition that went into service rather than a civilian copy dressed up to look the part. The softcover, the burgundy grained cover and the gold title are how the edition was produced. For a service member it is a practical field copy, and for a collector it is a documented piece of military religious literature.
