Great Basic Bible,
By
This review is from: KJV Standard Text Edition (Black French Morocco Leather) (Leather Bound)
I was looking for a nice, easy to carry KJV Bible, so I picked up a Cambridge KJV Standard Text Edition Black French Morocco Leather 43 model. It is the perfect size, and has a beautiful leather cover. The text is about the largest that I've seen in a Bible this small. It includes a dictionary for those now obscure old English terms.
This is a very basic Bible as there are no textual notes, or concordance. No cross references either. This helps to keep the Bible small. This is the original King James style. "Saviour" is spelled with seven letters, not the modern six letter "Savior", for instance. No brackets around the longer ending of Mark, or notes about the "trinity verse" otherwise known as 1 John 5:7. The only downside is that the paper is not as nice as that found in the other Cambridge Bibles. The more expensive Cambridge Bibles have absolutely beautiful paper. Keep in mind though, that at less than $45, this Bible is about the best constructed Bible that you will find. All in all, this standard text edition is a great buy if you are looking for a well constructed Bible without a lot of mass. Keep in mind that it won't have a concordance, or maps. It is though, light, and a very attractive Bible. If you want something nice, but simple, this is your Bible.

Excellent Text Bible,
By S Donahue (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KJV Standard Text Edition (Black French Morocco Leather) (Leather Bound)
Even the standard text edition here, has a good-sized font. The Cambridge quality is unexcelled(unless by those of Allan Bibles of Glasgow). I am very grateful to the folks at Cambridge for installing a glossary at the back of the Bible to put the myriads of archaic words into modern, understandable English. Unfortunately, the Large Print Text edition does not have this almost-necessary feature. For an outstanding quality Text Edition, this is it. It also has a long ribbon marker, which a lot of companies are shortening, to the point where they only barely extend past the bottom of the page. Kudos to Cambridge. As an added note, I find the reviews by certain 'yaygs' who set themselves up as Theologians and criticise the very Word of God to be laughable at best, pathetic at worst.

reconsidering my previous review,
By nlonghu "nebula" (Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holy Bible: King James Version: Standard Text Edition (Hardcover)
I'll have to revise my earlier review where I complained about "onion-thin" pages.In fact, compared to other Bibles, this one is the best in terms of print clarity, font, letter size, and general attractiveness. I've bought several (expensive) Bibles, which turned out to be much less pleasing than this one. The onion-thin pages are the norm with Bibles, and so not a point of criticism. In fact, I recently dicovered that good-quality editions of classics are usually made of this paper ...if it is india-paper. Anyway--that's my correction to my last review. Enjoy this edition!
