Description
The Cambridge KJV Topaz Reference Edition Bible echoes the beauty and clarity of the classic Bible settings of yesteryear. Traditionally named after a precious stone, this large-format setting has a comfortable-sized print to suit both private study and public reading. The Topaz marks a bold new bible design from Cambridge, with a two-color reference system, featuring cross-references in the outer margins of the text (instead of the traditional Center-Column format found in classic Cambridge KJV settings).
The Bible text and reference system is also supported by an extensive concordance, comprehensive maps and a family record section. The words of Christ are printed in red, as are the chapter and verse numbers, making it easy to find your place in the Topaz. The Bibles include presentation pages, making them ideal for gifts and awards.
The sleek and contemporary design of the Topaz is printed on the finest India-style paper, and the Bibles are individually hand-bound using traditional binding techniques. These carefully crafted elements of the Cambridge Topaz combine for a precious edition of the word of God indeed.
Split Calfskin Leather Editions:
These Bibles are bound in black or brown calf split leather. Calf split is a superior grade to French Morocco leather, tanned to approach the quality and feel of full-grain calfskin leather. The Bibles have two ribbon markers and are handsomely finished with black and gold head-and tail-bands as well as Gilt Edges.

Goatskin Leather Editions:
These special Bibles, for the discerning Bible scholar, offer the Topaz Edition text in a superlative flexible Black, Dark Blue, or Dark Green goatskin leather binding, and are edge-lined with Imitation Leather. They are printed on a smooth, opaque 28 GSM Indopaque paper, with Art-Gilt Edges, and include three ribbon markers to help find the reader's place.
