Different Original Printings of 1830 Book of Mormon Palmyra First Edition

"And now if there be fault, it be the mistake of men ..."

I found around 56 corrections or changes in the 1830 first editions of The Book of Mormon vs. other 1830 first editions. These are called stop-press corrections where typos are fixed or other changes done during the printing (before the type was replaced for a different signature). The earlier-printed original sheets as signatures were still gathered, folded, assembled, cut, and bound. This was all part of one printing with type changes being made during the effort resulting in books to have slightly different content for the same first 1830 printing. The 5000 first edition books were published officially on March 26, 1830, by Egbert B. Grandin in Palmyra, New York. This article documents near 90 differences plus various type damage. First the known scans available online are listed, followed by tables comparing the known scans for the known differences, then the printing differences are described and many shown. Videos of actual first editions are linked to at the bottom.

Unique Online Scans of 1830 Book of Mormon

CHL: LDS Church History Library / Uncut Sheets
M222.1 B724 1830 gatherings 1-37
https://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/record/e7d19cd9-79d9-4dde-80a6-32e1060dabff/0?view=browse
These are the uncut sheets obtained by Wilford Wood, said to be originally owned by the 1830 compositor, John Gilbert, and later donated to the church. While Wood's book "Joseph Smith Begins His Work" based on the uncut sheets has some differences, they are mostly due to fixes related to missing type or damaged or missing paper or text. (Note that the IRR scans are photographs of the Wood's book with some handwritten edits.)
This is 37 uncut sheets of 8 pages per side. Shows some fold marks and some minor damage. This is uncut, untrimmed, ungathered, unbound pages. There are some torn sheets and small missing sections of paper and words.
CHL34: LDS Church History Library M222.1 B724 1830 no. 34
https://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/record/4c23d215-8380-47c3-a509-df2256bb607e/0?view=browse
Handwriting on front blank page says it belonged to Pomeroy Tucker "in whose Print Shop this book was produced". He was a foreman at Grandin Press in Palmyra, New York. The book has many pencil editing marks maybe for preparation for splitting up into verses or changing content for a later edition (see pages 574 and 575 for example).
HPH: Herald Publishing House replica / Herald Heritage Reprint 1970 & 1973
At the WayBack Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20170902235822/https://www.heraldhouse.org/collections/scripture/products/book-of-mormon-1830 (I have two replica copies with slightly different paper and covers, with the reverse title page says published in 1970 with printer's key (number line) suggesting it is the 9th printing in 1995; and published in 1973 with printer's key suggesting 5th printing was printed in 2018. That seems backwards but maybe the printer's key was used differently. The replicas have the same unique differences.)
I have not yet tracked down the provenance of the original photographed book. Herald Publishing House was (is) the publisher for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now Community of Christ) and they don't know. The CHL will check some non-published scans in March 2026 to see if they have this copy. A PDF scan of nearly the same book is at https://www.latterdaytruth.org/pdf/100030.pdf. This PDF is not a scan of an original but likely a copy of a copy with changes introduced later. For example, page 207 in the printed replica has a different digit "7" which is unaligned and faded while the PDF has a mirrored (backwards) "7" which is impossible with normal type.
JH2 - John Hajicek / inephi.com / Mormonism.com
These were previously hosted at the inephi.com website. The scanned images are marked with "Photographed by John Hajicek from his own library". From careful review and comparisons of the photos of the book cover binding and end sheets (pastedown) from the front and back of the book and the fore-edge both as seen on many scanned pages and paper damage, creases, and color etc., the photos show unique changes and that this scanned collection is actually three (or maybe two) different books that were combined into a single set. For this tracking below, the differences are noted as if this is a single book. (Let me know if you need this broken down into separate partial books as I have the page numbers noted for the different books.) The unpasted endpaper at the end of book (before pasted in references) has handwritten "Gustavus Swan", "His Property", "Boston, Mass 18xx" (unreadable), "R.W. Thompson", "Fort Xuu" (unreadable), "N.Y.", "From Uncle Leonard". The end of the book has the pasted "REFERENCES TO THE BOOK of MORMON." four pages (two sheets).

Kebler, Leonard, donor. Received 5-10-44. Inside page shows "Chas. S. Albertson. Title page shows handwritten "C.S. Albertson" and again this signature on page 441. This is missing the preface sheet of paper (pages III - IV). Inside last page (image 606 ) has handwritten "Martin Harris". The scan includes the spine and front and back covers. Page 7-8 and page 99-100 has a watermark for "CONGRESS". Page 417-418 has long tear at bottom and page 419-420 long tear or fold.
This is a bad scan: Scan image 235 is page 231 but the following scan image 236 is back to page 228 repeated (same damage colorations). This continues with image 237 is page 229, image 238 is page 226, image 239 is page 227, image 240 is page 228 again, image 241 is page 229 again, image 242 is page 230, and image 243 is page 231. Those are all repeats.

Front inside cover says Rev. James Roy in print and handwritten. Cover is taped to title page. The clips holding book open are seen for many pages (for photographs). Bottom of preface page is stamped 386280. Creases and damage can be seen such as on page 5, Book of Nephi. (Note that multiple books have similar creases.) Various handwritten notations and underlining throughout book. Inside backcover shows MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY with identifiers BZZMO, B641.4, 386280, OCTAVO 6525. End of scan includes handwritten notes included with the book.

Shows lots of damage on edges of pages, end of book has significant water stains. This is a scan of a prior scan stored on microfilm. (Maybe the microfilm itself was damaged; see https://archive.org/search?query=canister%3AIA40414302-02 for other books on same microfilm.) This scan ends with the end of Book of Moroni and testimony of three witnesses repeated multiple times (so its OCR has that repeated multiple times too).

Back side of title page (clerk statement page) has handwritten "751" and "BX8623". The pages have significant fold or indentation marks or water damage. Pages 329 through 354 appear to have a small section missing at the top. The cover is replaced with a marbled artwork design cover. Testimonies page has note which includes "L.A. Wright". The final page has a pasted note about the treatment and rebinding in 1982.
SMU: Bridwell Library Special Collections at Southern Methodist University
Scan done by Octavo and previously hosted by Rarebookroom. Scan is missing pages 124 and 125 (but I was able to get those pages from their rare books curator) and has duplicated pages 460 and 461. This contains at the end four pages of "References to the Book of Mormon" which was said to be printed in Kirtland, Ohio, in 1835. This is after six blank pages. (The final signature has two blank pages.) The cover appears to be the same as the 1830 printings. These additional content pages appear to have more damage than the other pages and the sheet may have been pasted in.
WTL: Woodstock Theological Library, Georgetown Univ.
https://repository.digital.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/1049532
Title page has handwritten "BXZ", "8623", and "1830".

Differences in 1830 Printings

There are three mostly clean texts with scans that keep the original content (even if obvious mistakes) as seen in the typesetting: Joseph Smith Papers transcription, Wikisource transcription of UPL, and my transcription of LOC1. Other OCR scans are available but are full of numerous recognition errors, such as random characters and garbeled words. I provided over 200 fixes combined to JSP and Wikisource for restoring original words and punctuation, and fixing metadata tags. If you know of other clean texts, please let me know so I can compare. (Note that many 1830 texts online have wrong content from different editions, spelling and grammar adjustments, or purposeful or malicious manipulation. They also don't have original scanned page photos to compare with.)

After finding differences and even reporting about them, I was told about a book by Royal Skousen, The Early Transmissions of the Text (2024), with sections about "The 1830 Palmyra Edition" and "In-Press Changes in the 1830 Edition". I haven't purchased it yet.

Then I learned about Janet Jenson, "Variations between Copies of the First Edition of the Book of Mormon," BYU Studies 13, no. 2 (Winter 1973): 214--22. It reported of the seventy copies examined, sixty were found to have variants. This 1973 article provided several more differences that I also later confirmed in various scans.

I continued to find many other differences not documented in Jenson's 1973 paper. Of the 1830 book photos I looked at, it appears that LOC1 contained the most old, before corrections, printings and SIM has the newest, most corrections — see the total counts below. The binding was done at a different location and there are various combinations as shown below. Later, I may write an article about the signature gathering work for the printing and folding of the 1830 edition.

I created a database with all my 1830 differences research in YAML and a python script to generate the following tables and presentation. Note this has separate entries even for close changes on a same page, because I found different sequences of changes between various versions. These tables only shows corrections and type damage I have seen in photos, but the further details below also include differences reported by others. The line numbering does not count the running head, but does count chapter lines and horizontal rules as lines.

Type Problems

Type malfunctions, broken, damaged, or missing type, and not typesetting mistakes. These were likely initially good and later failed and unknown if they were corrected. I have found over 40 examples of type damage, but unsure if I will document all of them here. (Another area that can be documented is unique paper damage.)

The problem has the word and comma pushed to left and not lined up to margin, but an extra long non-standard vertical rule is there at the end of the line which descends below the baseline.

Jenson (1973) said this correction had not yet been discovered. This is confusing as that implies that ~70 copies had this missing. I think is just a type problem and not missing type nor ink specific as I found multiple with faint (e.g. JSP) and mostly clear "e", but didn't find any with a missing type there. The type is slightly tilted with "more" and "over" having different tilts. While a printing has a blob (LOC2) of ink there, if there really was a typesetting fix, then likely would have fixed "Samnel" and "bacause" typos on same page at the same time. I don't yet understand this as a correction.

This is not missing type as there is no gap and justification changes with two words shifted to the right without the comma. 1837 edition and modern edition does not have the comma. Note this is a reverse of the books for the other sheet 33 verso, So maybe some corrections are listed wrong here.

Jenson (1973) said this correction had not yet been discovered. Notice how this same section had the different spelling twice. Maybe this listing is backwards and the correction was to make it the same. The printer's manuscript has it only spelled "brethren" four times on the same manuscript page and the 1837 BoM also only has it spelled "brethren" four times in that chapter.

This is likely not a correction because with the damage the top of the "h" left ascender is gone, but even no terminal end of left stem if it was an "n" is there either. If it was an "n" it is broken too.

Uncorrected Misspellings and Mistakes in the 1830 BoM

There are hundreds of uncorrected errors and inconsistent spellings not fixed in all the scans I found, including obvious ones, like typo for "GHAPTER XXVI." (instead of "CHAPTER"). This includes archaic spellings no longer used in later editions of the BoM. (See the lists above for corrected mistakes.) (I have lots of explanations and references about the following which I will later add here.)

If you know of any other errors or variances in 1830 editions, please let me know.
