Author Description

The Long Primer edition of the Authorized Version has for many years been one of the classic settings in Oxford's range. Its range of features makes it useful for a number of purposes. The typeface is large and clear, and the Bible is therefore especially appropriate for readers with some visual impairment. The Bible includes centre column cross-references, in a format which has been extensively used by readers, and which has been found to be one of the best reference systems available. It is therefore ideal as a study Bible for devotees of the Authorized Version. The new style of binding adopts a classic imitation leather over boards style, with gilt title blocking on the front and spine and gilt blocked frame and ornaments. This effect creates a presentation Bible at a very affordable price. Sales of the Authorized Version remain strong, with an ongoing demand for large print editions, and this title will therefore be a core item for all bookshops.
