Today’s Deseret News has a fairly lengthy article on Mormoniana. See:

And I’m pleased to report that the paperback version of Mormoniana has been released, for just $50.

If your local LDS bookstore won’t order it for you, you can get it at:

It’s really for collectors, they’re only making 175. We’ve already sold something like 75, and they’ve only been available for 2 days. So, I think they’ll be gone, pretty soon.

Hey, thanks for the epithet ‘extraordinaire.’

:)

I’ve read a few of his essays – good stuff. Hicks’ presence alone lends credibility to this project. (let alone the rest of the all star line up including D. Fletcher!) Looking forward to it.

Mormoniana will be available starting in May 2004.

The limited edition volume (which includes the full musical score, CD recording, original art and essay) is priced at $150.

The deluxe edition (with contents identical to the above volume, autographed by all of the collaborators and with the additional original print) is priced at $500.

Copies of the limited edition and deluxe edition of Mormoniana will be available in May 2004; items will be sold and shipped in the order requests are received.

That does imply there will be a regular edition that sells for less than $150.00.

Any news on that one?

First, I agree with D. Fletcher — the volumes are moving very fast. I think they may last a month, so if you are interested in these editions, you should move fast.

Second, we are planning a more reasonably priced edition, but that edition will only go on sale AFTER the much nicer limited editions are sold. In addition, the less expensive editions won’t include the artwork (we only have permission to include the artwork in a certain number of copies).

Third, I can say that a CD of the music will be available for sale in the near future. I’d be happy to post here when the CD is available.

Please feel free to look over the volume’s website mormoniana.com, which includes a pdf of the prospecuts and anything you might want to know about the project. Of course, if you have a question that the website doesn’t answer, feel free to drop me a line.
