The original E.B. Grandin Building is the red storefront on the left of the one that says' "Book of Mormon". This is the place where the first 5000 copies of the Book of Mormon were printed. This shop is also unusual because it included a print shop, bindery and a book store all in one business. This never happened in a small towns like Palmyra during this period in history.
The NEW printing press that arrived at the print shop only 5 months before Mr. Grandin was employed to print the Book of Mormon. The quality of printing from this press was dramatically improved from the old press (located to the right of the one pictured). We saw samples of the comparisons.
The bindery where the Book of Mormon was bound. The entire process was done in this room. The leather covers were put on across the room from these binding tables.
The Book of Mormon and The Holy Bible are bound in leather so the people would know that these books were "Important".
As you can see on the shelves surrounding the Book of Mormon and the Bible, books of this time period were typically paper bound, making them more affordable to the general public.
