Most of you probably know about this already, but I've noticed a new (or newish) edition of the KJV at the website of the venerable Trinitarian Bible Society. It has:
1. The KJV text in a modern font (Windsor)
2. "The Epistle Dedicatory"
3. "The Translators to the Reader"
4. A glossary of archaic words
5. A Bible reading plan
6. The 1650 Metrical Psalms
7. Two ribbon markers
8. Bound in Calfskin leather
and:
9. Only $32 for all this (with shipping, $40)
Now, that's a deal.
I especially like the idea of the document "The Translators to the Reader" being included, since (1) it usually is not found in editions of the KJV and (2) it's contents will let a lot of the air out of the KJV Only movement (the translators [I paraphrase]: "No, as a matter of fact, we didn't set out to create a Bible translation from scratch.")
I'm thinking of getting one - and I'm a committed ESV guy!
Anyone have one? Any thoughts?
A question: how big is it?
