Second impression [i.e. edition], reset throughout. 2 vols. Printed by Richard Clay, the gravures by D.H. Greaves. Edited and arranged by Ernest Sutherland Bates, with old master drawings. Bates’s text is drawn largely from the Authorised Version, with the Revised Version used for the Apocryphal books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the copies offered in an alternative binding of full dark green morocco, with Cockerell marbled endleaves and a black clotch-covered slipcases (not present here). 259 × 168 mm. With 32 leaves of gravure plates across the two volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn acceptable set, the leather worn, stained and cockled in places, with the corners a tad bumped, and the closed text block foxed and mottled. Internally, there is a bookplate and a previous owner's sticker on the front free endpaper, a few small marks throughout — particularly one on the first page of Contents in volume 1 — the odd spot of foxing throughout, and a few ear marks. Not a flawless set, and missing its slipcase, but excellent reading copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sancho's Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54408727986515,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/5403\/5283\/files\/1970-THE-BIBLE-Designed-to-Be-Read-as-Literature-FOLIO-SOCIETY-Leather-Binding-Limited-Edition_1.webp?v=1785069962","url":"https:\/\/sanchosrarebooks.co.uk\/products\/the-bible-designed-to-be-read-as-literature-old-master-drawings-folio-society-1970-leather-binding","provider":"Sancho's Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
