How many Bibles?

I knew I had quite a few, but after "the great purge," (when I moved and lost half my book shelf space), I still ended up with 30 various English Bible versions.

NOT COUNTING your digital versions, how many various English language Bible versions do you own - list them.

Which physical Bibles do you regularly pull off the shelves? (again, not counting digital versions).

I use the NKJV for private use, the 1984 NIV for church
I also have KJV (of course!), ESV, NASB, CSB, NRSV, NIV (2011), Jerusalem (!), Recovery Version, Living Bible. The last five I almost never use.

KJV and ESV are my two main versions. I have an NIV somewhere along with a NKJV but I hardly use them

For "Study Bibles" I have the MacArthur Study Bible (ESV) and the ESV Study Bible.
