Facsimile 1611 King James Bible: Synthetic Leather Reference

Binding: Hardcover

Size: 8.75" x 11" x 3.5"

 

The Reduced-Size “Regular” Reference Edition

We realize that many people are not looking for a huge, beautiful display Bible, but rather, they simply seek an affordable copy of the original 1611 King James Bible to use as a desk-reference or bookshelf-reference piece (like a dictionary)… or perhaps they just want a copy that is small enough to take to church, and carry around for personal study. Indeed, many of our customers who purchase one of the gorgeous full-size editions detailed above also purchase one of these affordable reduced-size editions for their personal daily study.

This Reduced-Size Regular Edition Facsimile Reproduction of the 1611 First Edition King James Bible measures approximately 11 inches tall by 8.75 inches wide by 3.5 inches thick, and weighs about 10 pounds. (So actually… It’s still a fairly large and heavy book.) The binding is hardcover black imitation leather with gold stamping along the spine. Each page was computer-scanned from the original and printed on heavy cream paper. In a much more manageable “medium-folio” size, rather than the original “giant pulpit folio” size, it remains otherwise an exact photographic duplicate of the very first press run of the world’s most beloved book.

Most people have never seen what the original King James Bible looks like, and having one in your home will provide you with a great conversation-piece and an object of great beauty. 

Bonus: ships with a genuine original pre-1650 King James Bible Leaf of a regular “non-premium” passage (a $59 value if purchased separately).

 

Please do not confuse our photographic facsimiles with small, cheap, “reprints” you may have seen. The popular Thomas Nelson or Hendrickson Publishers “1611 Edition” mass-marketed Bible, for example, is NOT a true facsimile (nor do they claim it is). It is a totally new type setting in a strange semi-modern Roman Style Type Face without the original woodcut decorative accents or beautiful Gothic Blackletter Style Typeface found in the original. Such reprints may maintain the ancient spellings, but they do not LOOK anything like an original 1611.
