That is almost word for word what this bookstore owner friend told me. I guess I was just a little slow getting the news.

The newer one is large print, which I can use for teaching. But I keep the older one because it was a particularly nicely bound type that they don't seem to make anymore (real calfskin) and it was a gift from my mother as I was headed off down the road south to Salt Lake and Provo. It's got a lot of scripture marking in it, and I tend to remember things visually, so I'll often prefer the older one for that reason. Just call me a sentimental old fogey. -- Marc A.
