I just bought a 1990 blue cover BOM at Goodwill.

I'm going to do some comparisons.

Is it the big hardcover version?

I LOVE that one. It has all sorts of pictures in the back . . . of the Anthon Transcript, and a bunch of archaeological stuff that I could consider embarrassing to the church.

Yes it is the big hardcover one. I'm actually feeling excited to start looking through it soon.

That's a nice start on blowing MORmONISM wide open. If you want a real eye opener pick up one of the reproductions of the original edition of the BoM, recently published by TBMs. (MORmONS just don't realize when they are really shooting themselves in the foot)

For years the Christian Science church was embarassed about...

...the old editions of Mary Baker Eddy's textbook, "Science & Health." But there were so many old editions, with radical differences: chapter re-arrangements, major changes in her teaching, pages and pages that just disappeared, new chapters that showed up, etc.

Now Christian Science academics "study the evolution and maturation of her thought" as it "progressed" through the various editions.

I wonder if there's any chance that tscc could use such an approach with the changes in their canon. Strikes me as quite a rhetorical agenda.
