This classic Cambridge edition of the King James Version is noted for its economical but elegant typeface and slimline form. Cambridge's Pitt Bibles were originally launched in the 1930s, in the wake of the typographic revival which took place in England after the first world war. They were notable for their slimness - achieved by using a variant of the Times New Roman typeface, specially cut by the famous Times typographer Stanley Morison for Cambridge University Press. The Pitt Minion Reference edition was the first Bible to employ the innovative Cambridge bold-figure cross-reference system. This is a neat and elegant book, easy to slip into a pocket or purse. It is bound in burgundy bonded leather and has a ribbon marker and presentation page.

The Cameo Edition is a classic Cambridge typesetting of the King James Version, originally produced in the 1920s for letterpress printing. It has been widely admired by generations of readers for its solution to the Bible designer's dilemma of readable type in a manageable size. Unavailable for a while, the Cameo Reference Edition is re-issued in response to continued consumer interest, in a new range of binding styles. The re-origination process has offered an opportunity to tidy up a number of blemishes that had gradually become part of the Cameo image over the lifetime of the edition, especially during the conversion to more modern forms of reproduction. So, while the text presents the same familiar layout and the original Petit Medieval Clarendon type, it is now better represented than in some previous recent printings of the edition. One option includes the Apocrypha which, although originally printed with the Old and New Testaments in 1611 and included in almost every King James Version Bible for 200 years, is seldom found in modern editions. All the Bibles have a concordance and 15 color maps. The text has pronunciation marks for names and the words of Christ on earth are printed in red.

The King James Version of 1611 has been the most widely known and quoted version of the Bible for four centuries, and has shaped both Western culture and the English language. The Large-Print Bible provides the text of the King James Version in a clear, large type. For those with impaired eyesight, or those who just require a comfortable reading size, this will be the ideal Bible. There are self-pronouncing marks in the text, which will help readers to pronounce difficult names and words when reading aloud. This Large-Print Bible is bound in hardback.

Edited by David Norton, this important scholarly edition presents a revised KJV text based on a thorough evaluation of textual variants in current renderings as well as the extant notes of the 1611 Translators. The text itself is presented in paragraph form, with marginal notes, and adopts modern conventions of spelling and punctuation to make it easy to read and use. The New Cambridge Paragraph Bible was originally published in 2005 in a large format and, like the original King James Bible and successive editions until the nineteenth century, included the Apocrypha. As it has become known in the marketplace, a demand has become apparent for this Bible in a smaller, more manageable format. Its is therefore now being issued in Personal Size editions, either with or without the Apocrypha. This particular Bible contains just the Old and New Testaments. It is printed on Bible paper, has gold page-edges and two ribbon markers, and is bound in black calfskin leather.

The REB updates the New English Bible, retaining its elegant literary style, but removing its archaisms. The REB employs a modest amount of inclusive language (eg 'brothers and sisters' for 'brothers') and is good for public reading. Like the NEB before it, the REB is a British translation, sponsored by all the main Christian denominations. It thus uses British spelling and punctuation conventions. This edition comprises the Old and New Testaments only. It has gold page edges and is bound in grey imitation leather. It would make a fine presentation Bible for an ordination or other ceremony.

The Revised English Bible is a home-grown Bible version produced by scholars from all the main UK churches, some of whom had worked on the REB's predecessor version, the New English Bible, twenty years earlier. The translators strove to produce natural, everyday English that would lend itself to public worship. Each verse was read aloud to the other translators, to ensure that the sound rhythms and line endings worked well. The REB Lectern Bible has the same page numbers as Cambridge's REB Standard Text Bibles. Specially designed for public reading, it would make an exceptional gift for a church.
