Manuscript Title
The Book of Mormon is sometimes published as The Record of the Nephites. It is also called The Nephite Record and The Stick of Joseph, depending on the publisher. The term Stick of Joseph is a reference to the verses in the King James Version of the Bible, Book of Ezekiel chapter 37, which the Latter Day Saint movement believes to be a prophecy of the Record of the Nephites.
Typically, such titles indicate that the text is from an unedited copy of the first edition, published 1830 by Egbert Grandin in Palmyra, New York.
