Books of unknown publication year
- Gesangbuch: der Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage, (before 1996)
- It appears newer than the 1937 German edition, and older than the 1996.
- I own a copy. If I were to guess by the way it looks, I would say it looked to be published in the 1940–1950's (plus, given the evidence of the hymnals published around it, the kind of typesetting used, etc.) Veramet 20:59, 13 August 2010 (MDT)
- It appears newer than the 1937 German edition, and older than the 1996.
