If you are looking for a nice leather bound KJV bible, I would caution against this one. It is from Zondervan which is a very reputatable source, and a great feature is the introduction to every book of the bible which greatly increases understanding. However the font size is very small- it gives me a headache to look at. The overall size of the bible is small and convenient but this advantage is offset by the small print. I also think the thumb index is not a desirable feature- books are indexed in groups of 3, so it doesn't help you in finding a book- you end up flipping through anyway. The cover is leather, but looks like vinyl, and the inside covers are vinyl, glued to the leather. Cambridge makes a non-reference bible without introductions to each book, but in a lovely leather cover and large (but not your grandmother's large) print font that is very readable which makes a big difference in my opinion. The leather is nicer, too and the price comparable.

If you're looking for a lot of features, study aids, and footnotes, this Bible is not for you. What it does have is all of the King James text, a center column of references, a brief introduction to each book, and a concordance at the end. All of this is packed in a nice leather binding, with a ribbon, gilt edges, and thumb-indexes that get you approximately to the book you're looking for. It's small size, thinness, and lightweight makes it a handy Bible for church and travelling.
