That said, I do appreciate your efforts to bring our attention to the Geneva Bible. My “recommendation” was fully tongue-in-cheek, as I too would have no use for such a piece of history.

I don't want to own something as expensive and requiring as much care as a 16th century book.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I wasn't aware there were so many of these older ("ancient"!) editions still publicly available, much less sold on eBay.<br /><br /><strong>@TC</strong> - the only date provided was 1560, which, combined with the First Edition label, is where I'd presume to start. I assume that is a photo of the actual Bible. Check out the storefront link that Dave provided to see more old leather! @Dave – thanks for the links!
