Summary: Outstanding printing of the complete KJV
Review: I just recieved my copy today. Although my copy will recieve lots of use, it's a true collector's item--plenty of well-done maps, a very good concordance, a very nice dictionary, and useful center-colum references. Construction is absolutely flawless. The calfskin is wonderfully textured, the paper is quality, and the printing--I read another review that with a notable complaint--my copy is printed dark and sharply. Even the box it came in is nifty and worth keeping.**I have one, and only one complaint, the words of Jesus are NOT red. Granted, the item was not described as such, but in my mind, it's a given that a Bible at this price would. I am a 100% satisfied buyer. (Psst...it's got the Apocrypha!)

Summary: Almost good for Orthodox
Review: The deuterocanonical books are missing III Maccabees and Psalm 151. Though the KJV is still the best for the New Testament, we are, alas, still waiting for a complete Septuagint translation in English other than Brenton's. Almost a good Bible for Orthodox, but the original "manuscript" copies of the KJV are better, though harder to read.

Summary: Classic Quality and Beautiful Text
Review: This is a wonderfully usable study Bible in classic quality materials. The thin India paper is not commonly found any more, and the printing in my copy was perfect and clear. The beautiful poetic King James English is still the easiest for me to remember, and this Bible has perhaps the best concordances, Bible dictionaries, map collections and chain references of any. It is very useful for Bible studies as well as for personal study because everything is in one convenient package. The King James also helps by putting words added by the translators in italics, which most modern translations do not do. The only thing I wish it had more is a concordance that included the apocryphal books.
