A 1611 KJV Bible from Thomas Nelson

A review of Thomas Nelson's 1611 King James Version (KJV) Bible, which is a digitally remastered replica of a 1611 printing, but in Roman type, rather than in Blackletter (or Gothic). ISBN = 978-1-4003-4942-5 (9781400349425). Style = 7213BRN. Library of Congress number = 2024945735. This KJV Bible is bound in Leathersoft with stitching along the edges, and it features one gold ribbon marker, an 8 point text printed in a verse-by-verse, two-column format on relatively opaque, ~31 gsm, nearly white paper. All of the books of the Protestant canon of Scripture are included, along with the KJV Apocrypha (1 Esdras, 2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, fragments for Esther, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch and the Epistle of Jeremiah, the Song of the Three Children, The Story of Susannah, Bel and the Dragon, the Prayer of Manasseh, 1 Maccabees, and 2 Maccabees). Thus it includes more book/sections than are normally printed in Roman Catholic Bibles. The spelling is antiquated. The letter 'I' serves as both 'i' and 'j'. 'U' is sometimes used for 'v,' as in 'euvening' and 'diuide'. 'V' is sometimes used for 'u,' as in 'vnder' and 'vpon.' However, except in the photographically reproduced material at the front of the volume, the long s (which looks like an 'f' without the crossbar) is not used.
