why does this find strike me as something important to include in my blog?

1) aside from the book of mormon, i don't ever recall hearing of any record, book, piece of literature written on metal pages.

2) these metal books were bound with metal rings and even sealed with rings as well.

3) although it doesn't prove the truthfulness of the book of mormon, of which i have no doubt of it's validity, these books open the world up to the fact that ancient records were in fact made on metal pages or plates. :)
