"Printing in Deseret is a narrative history of the advent of printing in Utah, and of the earliest printed documents, or incunabula, created during the initial settlement years of the state. It also includes a bibliographic history of the press, chronicling more than fifty printed items, most never before described. Scholars and enthusiasts of Western Americana and LDS Church history will appreciate the meticulously researched account of the birth of printing and publishing in the nascent Utah Territory."--BOOK JACKET.
