This year we are releasing two new titles (six volumes in all) under our Smith-Pettit imprint (the Smith-Pettit Foundation being our sister company). The six are:
These are limited editions and (nota bene) sell out quickly. The Collected Discourses series makes available every known published and previously unpublished discourse, speech, and teaching of Brigham Young, second president of the LDS Church. The texts are drawn from the following manuscript collections at LDS Church Archives: Brigham Young Addresses, Brigham Young Minutes, Brigham Young Diaries, Brigham Young Office and Secretary Journals, Thomas Bullock Minutes, William Richards Diary, John D. Lee Journals, and Heber C. Kimball Journals, as well as from the "History of Brigham Young," "Journal History of the Church," Deseret News, History of the Church, Journal of Discourses, and Millennial Star. We will post more information about this set of five volumes in the fall, anticipating a November release date. In addition to these new titles, we are adding old titles to our library site (Signature Books Library). Through 2009 we plan to add the complete text of 36 new titles, bringing our total number of online books to 60. Here is our progress thus far this year on our library site: |
