Format:Leather Bound
I am WELL PLEASED with my Collins Authorised King James Bible. I have both read and studied other so-called versions, but this is THE one. And Collins is THE company to get from. Zondervan tampers with the Word of God, Collins keeps it EXACTLY as was translated first by Tyndale and later by those who completed the work. It is refreshing, yes - refreshing, to read the King James, and it has been beautifully done up by Collins. I carry it to meeting now, and am so pleased I made this purchase. Thank you Collins, and thank you Amazon - it was the only way I found it.

Format:Leather Bound
The Collins KJV is pretty much the standard KJV you can purchase in any high street bookstore and is copyright of the Crown unlike non-UK editions. The quality of the books seems very good, gold gilt edging, soft black leather and about the size of a standard paper back novel(Leather tends to be graded from Bonded, to Morroco and Calf skin with Goat skin being regarded as the best). One feature I did really like about this Collins edition is the simplicity of it, no annoying middle page cross references or footnotes or glossary of bible terms just the straightforward text of the scriptures. There is a couple of maps of the middle east at the back of the book and one or two pages at the front for marriages, births, deaths which seem unnecessary in my opinion. It was also nice to see the original dedication to the king page prior to the main text. Amazing to think in two years time the KJV will celebrate its 400th birthday. I certainly don't consider myself a KJV purist however it is certainly my preferred version. I enjoy the poetic old style English language, which almost adds to the authority although I have no idea why? I grew up reading the KJV during my Sunday school lessons with the Plymouth Brethren back in the 1970's and my COE days in the early 80's so I guess I lean more towards this translation than some of the modern transliterations. I think this edition is suitable to any one who would like to read it regardless of beliefs.

This bible was not quite what i expected. I did expect some things, such as titles above paragraph's, and even paragraphs themselves!
With this bible you do indeed get just that, a bible. In its truest and purest form it is simply the word of God. It has a section at the front for Family Marriages, Deaths and Births .etc and a little section about King James too. At the back are maps marking all the specific places in the bible, along with the routes some of the Gospels took.
All in all it's a nice bible, it comes with a nice hard cover to slide your bible into and keep it safe from harm. The bible cover is a very nice leather texture and the bible feels nice to hold and to read. If you want a Simple King James Version Bible, get this one. If you want a bible with red letter text, titles, references .etc then you should probably look elsewhere.
