I have an obsession. I have a huge collection of Bibles in various translations and types (study Bibles, key word Bibles, etc.), but I had never added a KJV Bible to my collection until now.

I have to say that these Bibles are beautifully printed and produced. Let me introduce you to some of the features in each of these Bibles.
