Part history, part annotated bibliography, and wholly enlightening, this book also provides an extensive catalog of the office’s diverse publications—from Sunday School cards to bound catechisms and spiritual treatises. Ideal for historians, bibliophiles, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith, media, and regional identity, The Juvenile Instructor Office offers fresh insights into how one press helped define the literary voice of a people. It’s a vital addition to the study of both American religious publishing and Utah’s cultural development during a pivotal era.
Craig S. Smith is a retired archaeologist living in the Salt Lake Valley. He is an avid book collector mainly focused on Utah and the Mormons, and especially interested in nineteenth-century printing in Utah. He has collected items published by the Juvenile Instructor Office for the past twenty-five years.
