The old English is a fun challenge for the little ones in the family to read.
It is boxed in a lovely box for safe keeping.
Thomas Nelson has passed on the savings from Printing in China to the consumer. It has a presentation box with cut-outs in appropriate places. The commentary from the Publishers is in a separate glossy booklet and mercifully, Thomas Nelson has not put its own comments between the covers of this bible.
The crystal coated cover with gold stamping has impressive antique artwork, as does the spine. So distinct from the usual mono-colour hard covers; even the back cover looks nice, and does not have publisher blurbs, which are relegated to the back of the presentation box. The pages have gold gilt edges. They are fairly thick and pleasant to touch. They do not stick together like some thin paged versions from the same Thomas Nelson publisher. The bible opens up more of less flat on a table.
The text reads well. The print is well inked. The cover page proclaims that it is "A word-for-word reprint of the First Edition of the Authorized Version presented in roman letters for easy reading and comparison with subsequent editions".
The Apocrypha placed between Old and New Testaments means that opening the bible in the centre does not find Psalms. The nice ribbon over Psalms is thus not centred. I am not hot on ribbons, but another closer to the New Testament would make good symmetry. There is very ample space on the sides of pages to take a multitude of post-it stickers.
One unintended drawback of an aesthetically pleasing bible is that it sees less use than one which is perceived to be rugged. This bible is sturdy, and is perhaps more so than a leather cover one. It has a Thomas Nelson "Guaranteed for Life" assurance, whatever that means.
This bible is minimalistic. No concordance, no maps, no commentary, and is the way I like it. The first few pages are printed in a way which almost suggests that it is a presentation copy, reinforced by the impressive presentation box. It makes an excellent gift, and for $31, I doubt if any gift at this price is better value and will be better received.

So much for a "commemorative" edition! I bought this after reading an American Amazon site review, which lavished praise upon it. I think that must have been for the 60 pound edition. This is rather cheap-looking and tacky version, definitely not worth the 20 pounds being charged for it currently (or 30 pound rrp!). It has ye olde style text inside, which is nice, and the reason I bought this version, but I believe a cheaper and better version is this Holy Bible, 1611 King James Version (400th Anniversary Edition)
It comes in a cheap cardboard sleave too, not what I expected from a book billed as commemorative. There are better versions out there! Overall, it is ok, just not worth the money.
