THE HOLY BIBLE

This classic Cambridge edition of the King James Version comes with black-letter text in an attractive bonded leather binding. Cambridge’s Pitt Bibles were originally launched in the 1930s, in the wake of the typographic revival which took place in England after the first world war. They were notable for their slimness – achieved by using a variant of the Times New Roman typeface, specially cut by the famous Times typographer Stanley Morison for Cambridge University Press. The result is the typeface also later used in the acclaimed Concord edition. The Pitt Minion Reference edition was also the first Bible to employ the innovative Cambridge bold-figure cross-reference system (also a feature of the Concord editions). All in all, it is a neat and elegant book, easy to slip into a pocket or handbag. This black-letter edition complements our existing range of red-letter Pitt Minion Bibles, available in a range of colours and bindings.
