The KJV Everyday Study Bible

A review of the Holman KJV Everyday Study Bible. The ISBN is 978-1-4627-9696-0 (9781462796960). This particular edition is inexpensive book bound in British tan imitation leather. This is a 66-book Bible. The King James Version (KJV) text appears to meet ‘Pure Cambridge Edition’ standards.

This Bible is a portable volume with a roughly 10 point text printed in a verse-by-verse, two-column format on somewhat opaque (~32 gsm) nearly white paper. Notes are in a 7.5 point font.

In the Biblical text, the characters are large and bold. No text or translation notes are presented, nor is there a separate cross reference section. The lack of cross references enhances the text's readability, since it is uncluttered. The text is line-matched. The interior of the Bible was designed and typeset by 2K/Denmark.

The volume features book and section introductions, page-bottom explanatory notes, 29 topical essays, 30 character profiles, 17 illustrations, three charts, and 99 essential Christian truths. This study Bible is broadly evangelical in character.

The binding is sewn. The page edges are gilt. One brown ribbon marker is included.

The volume contains eight somewhat glossy, medium detail color maps, which span 8 pages.
