Creator	Mays, Kenneth R.
Contributor	Mays, Kenneth R.
Description	In 1828 Egbert B. Grandin rented space in this building for his book store and publication office at 217 East Main Street in Palmyra, New York. It was here that the Book of Mormon was first printed. Copies of the book were available for sale beginning on 26 March 1830. The building was restored and then dedicated as a visitors' center on 26 March 1998 by President Gordon B. Hinckley. This image shows the bookstore portion of Egbert Grandin's business. The Prophet bought the copy of the Bible he used for the Joseph Smith Translation here on 8 October 1829.
