Hello,
I hope this post finds the group well and is not an intrusion.
It is directed towards the this membership specifically so please do not take it as spam.
I wanted to let you know about a valuable and historical book that has recently been secured.
It is the First Reprint (1903) Edition of the Book of Commandments by Joseph Smith. As of this writing, there is only one other copy listed online (with a price tag of $1200) and this copy will is listed for a fraction of that.
In fact, the only other copy I have seen surface in some time recently sold on eBay for over $700.
Since you are most likely a Mormon if you are reading this and familiar with the history of Mormonism, I am guessing that you are already familiar with this book (and may in fact know more about it than I do!) but it is exciting to consider that the revelations contained in it were almost lost!
It is also the only issue to have been reprinted verbatim from the original which is likely a big part of the reason it is so valuable!
Anyway, in the event that you are interested, it can be found at http://www.ebay.com/itm/BOOK-OF-COMMAND ... 43b513d5c6
Again, I want to reiterate that I sincerely hope this post is not an intrusion.
Thanks for your time in reading this and all the best!

I'll tell you what book would be even rarer. "Revelations Received by Joseph Smith that Actually Came True."
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

And even rarer than that: "Revelations and Prophecies - Post Joseph Smith Era"

Thanks for dropping by and sharing this, redhill. We do have a number of bibliophiles here.
