This book gives you ALL the information about and from Lucy Mack Smith's Family Memoir. The volume clearly lays out the "original" manuscript (called the preliminary manuscript), UNEDITED; as dictated by Mother Smith.
This is the manuscript that was commissioned and paid for by the Quorum of the Twelve, copyrighted by Lucy Mack Smith, with a copy given to her and to the Quorum of Twelve in 1845 (a year before the Saints left Nauvoo) by the Corey's, who took the dictation and wrote the manuscript.
If you need an edited version with historical helps and understanding of the Mormon culture and history, then I recommend the volume, Revised and Enhanced History of Joseph Smith by His Mother, by the Proctor's, Deseret Book Company (August 1, 1996), ISBN-10: 1570082677.
If you wish further information on Mother Smith's History and the manuscripts of her history, I recommend the following article, Richard Lloyd Anderson, "The Reliability of the Early History of Lucy and Joseph Smith," in Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought 4 (Summer 1969) 13-28.
