Outside of Utah, it is not uncommon to hear the Book of Mormon being referred to as the Mormon Bible. This statement is usually made by a person ignorant of how many scriptures the people who follow the Mormon faith actually use. The Mormon Bible is nothing more than the King James Version of the Bible used by many Protestant denominations. Joseph Smith, Jr. did work on a translation of the Bible before his death in the 1840s, but the Community of Christ, formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, holds the copyrights to the Joseph Smith translation.

The Mormons use the King James Version

Calling the Book of Mormon the Mormon Bible is inaccurate. The complete canon that makes up official Mormon doctrine is The King James Version of the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. If the set of Mormon scriptures you own is published by Deseret books, chances are the Joseph Smith translation of the Bible will be referenced in the footnotes of the Deseret books printing of the standard King James Version.
