“One of the great classics of the English tongue.”

—British Museum Bible Exhibition, 1911

The magisterial King James Version of the Bible has exercised an incalculable impact on piety, language and literature throughout the English- speaking world since its first publication in 1611. This year we mark the 400th anniversary of the edition Macaulay praised as “a book, which if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power” (Printing and the Mind of Man). The following is a small selection of the wide variety of Bibles we cur- rently have in stock, from the King James Version to the Geneva to the Bible in Hebrew, from illustrated editions to splendidly bound family Bibles passed down through generations.
