One of the major contributors in the production of the 1830 Book of Mormon (which in turn influenced all subsequent editions) is seldom mentioned other than in passing. His name was John Gilbert, and he was the one who set the type for that first printing. In 1892 he wrote about his experiences back in 1829–30. In this "Worthy of a Another Look," Royal Skousen, the undaunted scholar of the text of the Book of Mormon, comments on excerpts of John Gilbert's statement. [Editor's note]
