About This Item
This is a compact little bible with exceedingly small print. They must have had good eyes back in the middle of the 19th century. Published in 1854, this Bible bears two inscriptions, one from July of 1863, the other from almost exactly 100 years later (August 1963). Pages are gilt-edged, clean and tight, and mostly unmarked, except some red outlining on one map. Cover is embossed leather. In researching this book, I found that there were 44 versions of the Collins Bible, only one of which was older than this one. The other 43 appeared to be from 1857 to 1912, And many of those were asking hundred and even thousands of dollars. If this Bible is a valued collectable, mine is much more reasonably priced.
