Description
This special binding is published to mark the centenary of the Cambridge Cameo setting. The KJV Cameo Reference Bible was first printed in 1925 by the letterpress method using a hot metal typeface, Petit Medieval Clarendon. It was greatly admired for its beautiful design and compact size, producing a book small enough to carry. It has been printed continuously for 100 years. The centenary Cameo Bible, a facsimile of the original, has pronunciation marks, references, a concordance and maps. It is printed on India-style paper and bound in golden brown full-grain aniline calfskin, edge-lined with a full yapp. Every hide is tanned and dyed by a vegetable tanning process which preserves its natural characteristics. Over time, the leather reflects its environment and handling, developing a unique vintage patterning and feel, which blend with the dye and the grain of the hide. The Bible comes with a booklet commemorating the centenary.
