Thomas Nelson has just released The King James Version Bible. “Oh!” You might be saying. “They always put out King James Bible, I have one.” But what you do not have is a: KJV THINLINE BIBLE, Large Print Cloth Cover board in Black/ Gray Red letter edition. And if you like taking your Bible with you to church, or when you visit then you want this. This edition also comes in a green cloth cover, which looks cute but I like this one.
I can tell you that it really is cloth! I got the black part dirty and had to clean it with a damp cloth.
This King James Bible has a classic look to it. I like the weight and its’ clean, nothing fancy, cover. When you open the book the first page is the standard presentation page: to, from etcetera. As you open it up to the books of the Bible you can actually see the words, the font is great. No, I cannot read it without my glasses but I can hold the Book at a reasonable distance and still see the words. What I really appreciate is the ability to actually read the maps!
I don’t recall other large print Bibles having maps in which you could read all of the places. (Again, no squinty eyes.)
An important note at the back of the book: “The Bible was set in the Thomas Nelson KJV Font, a typeface commissioned by Thomas Nelson Publishers and designed in Aarhus by Klaus Krogh and Heidi Rand Sorensons of 2K/DENMARK.” Yes, this is a unique font for a very special book and I for one am glad.
This is a very readable King James Version of the Bible that is not oversized. xxx Marsha L F Randolph
