Holy Bible (KJV), World Publishing, Self - Pronouncing, Illustrated Covers (1962)
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:31656835 |
This is an original 1962 printing of The Holy Bible (King James Version), self-pronouncing edition, published by World Publishing Company of Cleveland and New York. This edition features attractively-illustrated covers of Jesus' preaching to a small group. In addition to the 66 traditional books of the Old and New Testaments, this Bible also has a key to pronunciation (All proper names are syllabized and sounded out according to this key) and an appendix containing the Ten Commandments... and the Beatitudes. Color plates accompany several of the most famous Bible stories.
Overall, the Bible being offered is in somewhat distressed but fair vintage condition. As you can see in my first three photos, the illustrated covers have several heavy creases and heavy wear, including a few tiny areas of splitting along the edges of the spine. Inside, the pages are all present and are clean, crisp, and tightly-bound; the only writing/marking I found is the message "To Eric, love Mom" written inside the front cover and the name of the original owner and date of presentation (Sept. 30, 1962) written on the "Presented to..." page. Signs of water damage are evident; my 4th and final photos show that brown stains are found inside the front and back covers, the 5th photo shows the same staining on the first page, and rippling affects the first 300 pages or so (out of 1000+ pages). Some early pages also have a lot of wrinkles, and the occasional minor wrinkle or dog ear crease at the extreme corner can be found on a few pages here and there.
