I've read this version of the Book of Mormon twice. The headings and footnotes differ from the official church version. The format is more of a narrative than chapter and verses. It contains annotations indicating original chapter breaks.
This formatting actually helps bring clarity to the narrative. Hardy notes differences between the current text and previous versions with attention given to the work of Royal Skousen comparing various versions, and the original and printer's manuscripts. New headings also aid my understanding of the text.
I highly recommend this study version for anyone who wants to better understand the Book of Mormon.
