The 1611 King James Version Holy Bible: A Facsimile Copy of the 1611 Authorized Version

Personal

Notes

This book has been described as "a faithful and exact reproduction of the very first King James Pulpit Bible is indeed a work of art and fine craftsmanship beyond compare. More than a facsimile, it is a masterpiece- Measuring the exact size of the original 1611 printing, an enormous 17 inches tall by 12 inches wide by 5 ½ inches thick (including its slipcase), and weighing so much it nearly takes two people to comfortably move it, this is the finest reproduction of the 1611 ever undertaken

"Unlike other facsimiles, this Deluxe Edition is printed on 100% rag cotton linen sheet (not wood-pulp paper), just like the original 1611 it is faithfully reproduced with the small quantity of decorative red ink in the prefatory section- The cover is constructed over five layers of solid birch wooden boards with extra-heavy duty stitching and raised spine bands with gold spine stamping-no detail was overlooked. It has the elaborate coat of arms of King James blind-stamped into the front cover- The slip case has a special raised bottom sleeve to totally support the weight of the pages when standing upright

"Over $100,000 went into the set-up for production of this magnificent creation--visually IDENTICAL to an original 1611, and actually made out of the same materials as an original 1611… except that it is absolutely brand new, and about one-six-hundredth the cost of the last 1611 sold at auction."
