[54141] $200 BYU Studies Monographs. From the Foreword- "As Roberts dictated, revised, rearranged, rewrote, and proofread these pages, especially Draft 1, he made so many changes that it would have left the printed pages extremely cluttered and would have been editorially cumbersome if the final published edition had reflected even a portion of those insertions and deletions. Because most of Roberts's modifications do not affect the substance of his chapters, BYU Studies decided that the best way to present the totality of the textual history of TWL was to publish complete photocopies of the three original drafts themselves. Although general readers will not likely take much interest in these pages, historians who enjoy working extensively with primary manuscripts will find certain value in some of the pages of these drafts." 6.
