This new setting of the Bible is published to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the King James Version but intended to become a staple of the Cambridge list. It is the first new Cambridge KJV reference Bible for over half a century and has been designed to meet today's increasing demand for a more accessible format and comfortable reading size. It is typeset in Lexicon No.1, a digital font designed for easy reading and with many similarities to traditional hot-metal Bible typefaces. The print is black-letter throughout and the text is presented in paragraphs in a single-column format. The notes and cross-references have been moved to the outer margin, leaving the text free. The Bible includes 15 colour maps and a Reader's Companion, a combination of a dictionary and concordance. This Bible is printed on India paper with gold edges and is bound with two ribbons in black calf split leather.

Edited by David Norton, this important scholarly edition presents a revised KJV text based on a thorough evaluation of textual variants in current renderings as well as the extant notes of the 1611 Translators. The text itself is presented in paragraph form, with marginal notes, and adopts modern conventions of spelling and punctuation to make it easy to read and use. The New Cambridge Paragraph Bible was originally published in 2005 in a large format and, like the original King James Bible and successive editions until the nineteenth century, included the Apocrypha. As it has become known in the marketplace, a demand has become apparent for this Bible in a smaller, more manageable format. Its is therefore now being issued in Personal Size editions, either with or without the Apocrypha. This particular Bible contains just the Old and New Testaments. It is printed on Bible paper, has gold page-edges and two ribbon markers, and is bound in black calfskin leather.

The New American Standard Bible is the most literal of the translations published by Cambridge, making it ideal for in-depth word studies. All archaic language, however, has been removed in the 1995 update. The slimline Cambridge Pitt Minion format is widely admired for its compact but clear type and its elegant binding styles. In the NASB editions the words of Christ are printed in red and there are full cross-references, a dictionary/concordance and maps. This is a Bible binding of the very highest quality, printed on very thin and light India paper, with beautiful art-gilt edges. The pages are Smyth-sewn, giving the books plenty of support and allowing them to stay flat once open. The cover is made from brown goatskin leather, a supremely supple and flexible material, which not only looks and feels good, but will last for many years. This Bible has two ribbons to keep the place and a presentation page.

The New King James Version modernises the KJV while preserving its dignified style and word order. the New Testament follows the same Greek text as the KJV. The revisers' aim has been 'to preserve the original intended purity of the KJV in its communication of God's Word to man.' Cambridge Pitt Minion Bibles are characterised by an elegant text design using a font that is compact, yet clear and easy to read. This Bible features red-letter text and includes full cross-references, a concordance and maps. It is printed on high quality India paper and Smyth-sewn. This style features gilt edges and is bound in black 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.
