(SOLD) Improvement Era, Volume 63. 1960

12 volumes of the 1960 Improvement Era magazine, the official magazine of the LDS Church before the Ensign, bound in beautiful hard cover.

It is fascinating to see the content, not only for the talks and to see what it was important to LDS people back in that time, but because of all the "non-correlated" illustrations and advertisement, something we don't see anymore in the church publications.

It includes elder Kimball's controversial talk on the "Lamanites" going white as they participate of the gospel's ordinances.

Price: $20.00
Shipping: $5.00

(SOLD) Songs of Zion, 1908

This is quite a historical artifact. A compilation of church songs for missionaries. The book is falling apart (the binding is pretty much gone), but the pages themselves are in good shape. The inside of the front cover has pen writing, other than that, it is really clean.

It includes the infamous hymn "Oh Stop and Tell Me, Redman."
