Defiling the Book Of Mormon?

Here’s a story about a lady who came to possess an original edition (published in 1830) of the Book of Mormon…she’s decided to rip every page out of it one by one and sell them on ebay or through her own online store. Original copies of the book sell for up to $75,000, if this woman continues to successfully sell each of the pages of her book of mormon (she’s getting at least $2,500 per page) she could make nearly 10 times that. Good for her. She’s making a lot of money and lots of people who want a part of the historic document can have it.

Thanks to Lisa for pointing me towards this interesting story.

1. Defiled if in prime condition, which this Book wasn’t. The bind was falling apart… so why not share the history?! Great idea.
