The complete King James version of the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible was first copied by scribes, and because of its length and the time it took to transcribe each book by hand, only the wealthy could afford a copy. It wasn’t until the 1440s when Johannes Gutenberg invented his revolutionary printing press that the Bible was available to everyone. This flexibound edition of the King James version of the Bible is enclosed in a protective slipcase and includes pages on which you can record key life events such as births, christenings, and marriages.
