Although Mark Twain characterized the Book of Mormon as "chloroform in print", one would have to guess that he wouldn't have slept through an afternoon of discourse with that sacred writ's author/proprietor/translator. "Of Curious Workmanship" is the equivalent of a brisk stroll through the park with Joseph Smith and Mark Twain, and is not to be missed. My only complaint is the book's brevity (it would have been longer had Edgar made more liberal use of "and it came to pass" . . .), but that flaw can be corrected by a follow-up volume to this wonderful book.
