I'd characterize it the same way I characterize Nibley:
No desire to read it personally; but it's good to know that it's out there.

Royal is my favorite Skousen. (In any other thread, that sentence would make absolutely no sense.)

I think it is great, so far.
I got my copy on Amazon for a great deal. It is called The Book of Mormon: The Earliest Text. It was about $23.xx and I bought some $2 tape to get free shipping. Yay! The front explains all about his method. I really like being able to see the original for some of the things that have changed. It flows a bit more the way it was written. There aren't any of our cross-references and such. Makes a nice reference for scripture study. If you want to read the BoM for the storyline this is a great way since there is nothing else on the page to distract you. I felt like I was peeking inside the process of how the BoM evolved in print. It won't replace my regular ol' BoM...more of a supplement. I think it is of more interest to historians and scholars.

Okay. I guess that's what you get when you don't watch TV.
 I'd never heard of Cleon Skousen.

Is "Royal" a first name?

here is a taste of Cleon: The Atonement, by Cleon Skousen reperiendi he has also written some political books - 5000 year leap etc. etc. The above is one of my fave from him. I love the "little mother" story, I think it explains the atonement well.
