Potato Printing Press
The first 5,000 copies of the Book of Mormon were published 187 years ago this month! The printer at Mr. Grandin’s press spelled out each word with small metal letters called “type.” Then he covered the type with ink to print onto sheets of paper. You can print designs on cards, T-shirts, or tennis shoes with just paint and a potato!
