“This is simply the best edition of a text-only KJV that I've been able to find, and I've looked. Although classified by Cambridge as "Large Print", it's actually just 10pt type, in terms of readability much superior to the "Standard" 8pt type editions. There are also some other nice features familiar to those who prefer Cambridge Bibles. The leather is substantial French Morocco, supple and not "bonded"; aesthetically this is pleasing. The format is the traditional double-column. Black letter only (CUP unfortunately has used low-contrast bright red ink for their red-letter editions), and no notes: this is for readers who want the text and little else in a design that is a joy to read and will no doubt last a lifetime. This edition is the nicest Bible I've ever owned, and I keep coming back to it again and again, even though I usually read a modern Bible translation (RSV/ESV).”
