Collins KJV Reference Bible in Genuine Morocco

Collins KJV Reference Bible in Genuine Morocco 022

I wanted to show off my latest used bookstore find: a Collins KJV reference Bible in genuine morocco. It’s about the size of the Concord. The paper is more opaque and has a cream tone that I love (like an Allan Longprimer). The font is slightly larger than the Concord. It looks like a 9-point to me with a 10-point leading. The text is self-pronouncing with italics for supplied words. It is black-letter. The font is beautiful. It has center-column references and translators’ notes that are keyed to the text. There are also dates for when the events took place. There are 11 verses for Genesis 1:1. It has art-gilt edges and a blue silk ribbon. It has a sewn binding and has no trouble lying flat. The cover is stiff, so I can hold it in one hand for reading. It has a daily reading plan to read the Bible through in a year, with Psalms and the NT twice. It has a 120-page concordance/topical index. There are 17 pages of maps and an index to maps. The page in the front calls it a Long Primer. The presentation page is dated 1961. This one might become my carry Bible.

    Randy it’s exciting finding such a treasure isn’t it? Almost 55 years old and still doing what it was designed to do. I wonder if our more modern so called high quality bibles will look as good after the same amount of time. I would love to see one of those Collins Reference bibles still new and pristine and lying in the box, then I wonder how it would compare with your Longprimer or Concord?

    Dear Randy:

    What a treasure! It is a shame that this edition is no longer in print. I’m glad that this bible has found a good home. I only wish that the present day editions of the bible were as well made. Treasure it always.

    Yours in Christ

    Hi Randy. Wonder if you can help at all. My Wide Margin Collins KJV is worn out and I have struggled to find
    another copy anywhere, new or second hand. Any ideas ?

    I don’t understand. Are these Bibles for sale, or are you simply posting pictures of them? If any of ’em are for sale, am I supposed to guess the prices? Do you accept PayPal?
    Not a very good website!
