Description
The KJV Clarion Reference Bible, the first new Cambridge KJV Reference Bible for over half a century, has been carefully designed for the modern era to meet an increasing demand for a more accessible format and comfortable reading size. The text is presented in Paragraph (rather than traditional chapter and verse) style and in a Single-Column Format with notes and cross-references placed in the outer margin.
The all new KJV Clarion from Cambridge was published to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the King James Version, but is intended to become a staple of the Cambridge KJV Catalog.
It is typeset in Lexicon No.1, a digital font designed for easy reading and with many similar characteristics to traditional hot-metal Bible typefaces, thus marrying the best of both Old and New. The print is black-letter throughout and the text is presented in paragraph, rather than traditional chapter and verse style, and in a single-column format. The notes and cross-references have been relocated to the outer margin, leaving the text relatively free and unencumbered.
These Bibles include maps and--instead of a conventional concordance and dictionary--a Reader's Companion which offers the key elements of those features in one place. They are offered in a range of superior bindings with Smyth-Sewn pages --calf split leather, top-grain calfskin, and edge-lined goatskin.
Split Calfskin Leather Edition
The Bible is bound in black calf split leather. Calf split is a superior grade to French Morocco leather, tanned to approach the quality and feel of full-grain calfskin leather. The Bible has two ribbon markers and is handsomely finished with red and gold head-and tail-bands as well as Gilt Edges.
Top-Grain Calfskin Leather Edition
A traditional high-quality, long-lasting leather used in fine bindings. The finest calfskin is renowned for its distinctive natural grain and rich color shading, features which make every Bible unique.
Goatskin Leather Edition
This special Bible, for the discerning Bible scholar, offers the innovative Clarion text in a superlative flexible black goatskin leather binding, and is edge-lined with Imitation Leather (as only the best bible publishers in the world still do).
