Any hints on reading that book? It's very blurry to me. :(

I wish I had a better copy of that one. It is the one that Letis used and handed out most of the time. If you are extremely fortunate and have a good religious university or college near by, you may be able to pick up the booklet there.

If you are not using this link, try it and it may be better.

I checked it out of the DTS library. I've read all four works by Letis that we have there.

I will hasten to add that whilst I disagree with some of Dr. Letis' conclusions, he has done a service to the textual issue in this book. The ending pages are against the modern KJV Only movement, and I've quoted Letis a few times on my blog regarding that very issue.

I found the book enlightening...nor did I as a Baptist take offense to his points. I think it would have been stronger had he actually told us the specific names of a few of the KJV Only folks against whom he is writing other than the radical Tychonian Society. I know that D.A. Waite and D.O. Fuller founded the Dean Burgon Society, and his description of a Baptist pastor from Nepal sounds eerily like David W. Cloud.

His defense of Burgon is excellent considering its brevity. He also rightly critiques fundamentalistic separatism in a rather amusing way. All in all, I do recommend the book to anyone seeking information from the pro-TR side of the textual issue.

Now, I really would like to read it. I wonder if our local library could get it from another reciprocal library. I'll have to ask.
