The Lost Book of Mormon: A Journey Through the Mythic Lands of Nephi, Zarahemla, and Kansas City, Missouri by Avi Steinberg

"Even God had to sacrifice his only begotten son just to get himself a musty little sepulchre in which to stretch his legs out. And so the Mormons were offered a deal: cease missionary operations in Israel and to Israelis abroad and indefinitely halt publication of a Hebrew edition of The Book of Mormon in exchange for permission to build a center on the sacred Mount of Olives."

The Mormons agreed. And Avi spends a long time fruitlessly searching for an Israeli Book of Mormon. When he does eventually find a Book of Mormon in Israel, it is in Samoan.
