THE HOLY BIBLE CONTAINING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS TRAN...
One of 950 copies printed. King James version with dedication to the King and introduction by the translators. The finest lectern Bible ever printed in America. Rogers worked on this book for four years. It was set in a Goudy type that was heavily modified by Bruce Rogers for this book. The typeface did not space to BR and Abraham Colish's standards so the original monotype composition was almost entirely releaded by hand. Paper for the Bible was specially commissioned for the book. This landmark in book design is becoming increasingly difficult to find. With 8 page prospectus loosely inserted. Boards and spine soiled and rubbed at edges. Names of previous owners inscribed on front pastedown. Hinges cracked. Free endpapers, title page and introductory pages torn or bent at lower corners. Shaken.
