KJV Cameo Centenary Edition, Vintage Golden Brown Calfskin Leather, ...

This special binding is published to mark the centenary of the Cambridge Cameo setting. The KJV Cameo Reference Bible was first printed in 1925 by the letterpress method using a hot metal typeface, Petit Medieval Clarendon. It was greatly admired for its beautiful design and compact size, producing a book small enough to carry. It has been printed continuously for 100 years. The centenary Cameo Bible, a facsimile of the original, has pronunciation marks, references, a concordance and maps. It is printed on India-style paper and bound in golden brown full-grain aniline calfskin, edge-lined with a full yapp. Every hide is tanned and dyed by a vegetable tanning process which preserves its natural characteristics. Over time, the leather reflects its environment and handling, developing a unique vintage patterning and feel, which blend with the dye and the grain of the hide. The Bible comes with a booklet commemorating the centenary.
