Thin, narrow, text and styling doesn't show enough respect to the Word of God
I purchased this Bible to replace the Gideons Bible which I have started to read in my motel room. After reading the Gideons Bible which is shown in the image above this Bible, I cannot digest the Word with the small doily text that is used in this Bible in the same way I do the bold text. To me it seem almost disrespectful to the Word of God with the weakness of the typeface used. Needless to say its not for me, but others may like it. If you like the text, there's not much to dislike about it, its simple, clean, and doesn't have too many extras to distract from the Word.I have since contacted Gideons and they said they would be delighted for me to take their Bible. I have ordered another Bold text bible to replace the one I took because thats how much I would not want someones first experience reading the Bible to come from this particular publication.

This Bible indeed contains the text of the Pure Cambridge Edition (PCE circa 1900) and passed the checklist for such. (The publisher also directly states it as being PCE text.)

The only edits I see are it alters the page header titles slightly and the subscript info is removed. Which is fine with me. I never liked having those in there and a Bible should only contain God's Word. So in that sense, one can't say it's a perfect PCE copy, again though, the Word of the Bible text itself seems unchanged and is PCE.

As for build quality and format: it's a very sturdy glued hardcover and the text is an easy to read font with double column and no clutter in the form of notes or commentary, etc. Pages are not too thin but they are not overly thick either so require slight care. It's a good thickness though, it keeps the book very light in the hand and does not feel like lugging around a huge brick.

Final notes:

Mine did have some crush damage as if something very heavy and square shaped was on top of it for a while, but no big deal as it's on the back and should go away eventually if I put a heavy flat item on top myself to straighten it out.

I also tested the book sturdyness by bending it, stepping on it, turning pages while upside down, side to side shaking binding tests, page tugging, etc... Close inspection of glued area after all this indicates it's just fine with no additional damage or lose pages. Of course I can't judge on how well it will survive over years of use, but it is a great build for the price to be sure. I would suggest you place book repair, or otherwise some kinda tape, on the cover/page seams on each end of the book where it holds to the cover. (on each of the first few page seams at the start/finish of the book) This is generally the first place damage will start to happen and is a good preventive action.

So yeah... nothin fancy, no shiny gold sided pages or engraved cover, no gothic fonts or latching clasps, but if that's what you want in a Bible, my guess is you will just use it as a decor item and not even read it through anyways, and that would be a shame to say the least. These things are meant to be abused with heavy reading and referencing, and this one will do fine for that. God's Word is not, and was never meant to be, a decor item or a doorstop. lol

Nice, sturdy cover and readable text. The text is "normal", not squashed like in some Bibles where the letter "h" is barely distinguishable from the letter "n", etc. Holding a ruler vertically on the page, there are 9 lines of text per inch. (This should be the unit of comparison. Stating a font size does not clearly convey text size unless the font style is also stated, whether Calibri, Palatino, Verdana, etc.) Page thickness and opaqueness are good. Entirely black letter; (good -- since the entire Bible is God's word, not just what Jesus spoke). No references nor study materials nor other additives. This is the quality, plain KJV Bible I wanted and am very happy to have finally found. Hopefully Holman keeps making them like this. "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men." (Titus 2:11.) Read it and find out for yourself.

You will never again have the precise, high-minded language of the King James version of the Bible, so enjoy it while it's still in print, before the New Revised Standard Version renders it obsolete. Modern versions of the Bible have been edited for that lowest-common-denominator trait, "readability," which means they've been dumbed down to street talk instead of pumped up to high speech, like the KJV. This version of the Bible sounds like a document translated by smart people, from knowledgeable sources, and it feels like the received word of God through its concise use of language and word choice. In short, this book sounds authoritative in a way the NRSV, with its colloquial speech, does not and never will. It will always be my Bible of choice and will be the only one on my shelf, NRSV need not apply!

The only bible version that I trust. This is the only True Word of God. I recommend newly saved christians to get this King James Bible version(only) that has little to no additional information as possible. Dont get intimindated by the words thou, thine, thus and other words. Let your Holy Spirit be your primary teacher and let Him teach you alone and not with bible commentaries or other notes or guides from other pastor, priest or people. Trust your Holy Spirit alone and your final authority must always be the bible.

Never every get NIV, NKJV, NLT, CEV, NASB, ESV and all other bible versions. These are all corrupted and perverted Word of God that supports satan's false doctrines and false teachings of false religions.

Pure Cambridge Edition 1900, verified. For those who do not know, there are some bibles that have poor translations that change the meaning and this is the most accuracte true to the history, bible that you could find besides learning the original text. Also, though this is King James version bible, english translation in this is much easier to read and understand due to being more modern and less old english. I have another King James version bible which has old english and isn't as easy to read.

Only thing I would like to see would be red lettering.

Reviewed in Canada on June 25, 2022
To be totally honest, I am not a student of the Bible and often when I want to find a certain thing I first turn to Google. With that admission, I will say that I have found much enlightenment and understanding by reading the actual biblical passages, and I've found this particular text easy on my old eyes.
To the best of my knowledge, this is an unabridged King James version.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Bible for any use...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2014
This Bible is what it is said to be, a lovely burgundy hardback copy. Although it states to be a pew Bible, it is just as useful for carrying around using for daily devotional readings, preaching and small group usage. The King James has a reputation for being in a poetic format, this is demonstrated with the older looking use of font - size 6/7. This is a wonderful copy I will be adding to my collection, this bible can stand daily usage with a firm sewn spine. The Paper is thin, not the normal Bible paper but still very light to carry around. This will fit in a bag or can be carried in your hand without being to heavy or to big. There is no presentation page, there is no concordance or any extra feature. There is no page maker also, so you best buy a bookmark!

Overall I'd give this a 9/10.

This review is to give an update on other reviews. I ordered this Black Hardcover Pew Bible in October 2017 and the Copyright is 2014. It is "Authorized King James Version" and starts with a Table of Content followed by "God's Plan for Salvation" on the next page. The Words of Christ are in RED. At the end, there are 2 maps: "The Kingdoms of Israel and Judah" and "Paul's Missionary Journeys". The 2 typos mentioned in other reviews (2 Peter 2.5 and 2 Kings 16.17) are now corrected.
