1820 Holy Bible printed in New York by Daniel D. Smith printed a handful of follow up editions after this one, but first editions are quite rare. Original leather binding shows some wear, but overall solid and attractive. Some splits starting and some weakening to front hinge, but still solid despite the fact. Overall much better condition than most early American Bibles of this time period. Measures about 11″ x 9.25″ and about 2.25 thick. The majority of books I list are 150+ years old. I do my best to describe imperfections and flaws in the item description, but please review pictures for the best idea of the condition. Check out my other book and Bible listings! I may have more like this one that you would be interested in!

1815 Holy Bible Stereotyped and Printed in New York by D. This is the first Bible printed in America using stereotype plates made in America. This printing is much more rare than the 1812 Bible Society of Philadelphia printings and is difficult to find in any condition. The actual binding of the pages is solid. Front cover worn, but not in terrible condition for age. The rear cover has been affected by water damage and is very warped/discolored. This affects a small portion of the spine as well. Though there is some staining to pages, luckily it’s very minimal when compared to the cover. Typically when you see this kind of water damage to the covers, it also drastically affects the pages as well. But in this case, either a rebind or a replacement of the rear cover would nicely preserve this rare printing! Pages have the typical foxing you would expect from a Bible of this age. Measures about 7″ x 4.5″ and about 2 thick. The majority of books I list are 150+ years old. I do my best to describe imperfections and flaws in the item description, but please review pictures for the best idea of the condition. Check out my other book and Bible listings! I may have more like this one that you would be interested in!

1714 Holy Bible printed in London by John Baskett. Very early complete Bible printed by John Baskett. Any John Baskett printing prior to 1715 is difficult to find. Beautiful original leather binding with gold gilt design on covers and spine. Very worn, but covers are holding well. Someone later added the blanks and marbled pastedowns in an attempt to match the originals. The title page is partially stuck to the new endpaper, not allowing you to open it all the way (see pictures). Some damage to the edges and bottoms of first pages (see pictures). Some pages protruding slightly with rough edges. This copy had gauffering on edges, but it’s a bit hard to see now. Mostly clean of markings and such. Some owner inscriptions at rear. Measures just under 7″ x 4.25″ and a little over 2 thick. The majority of books I list are 150+ years old. I do my best to describe imperfections and flaws in the item description, but please review pictures for the best idea of the condition. Check out my other book and Bible listings!
