Was that the fairly large one with the brown Kivar cover? I bought a copy at the Baptist Book Store in the mid-'70s. I'm not sure where it is now, but it was a comfortable read.

Cambridge publishes some awesome KJV bibles! I have 3... I think all three are gifts from my wife!

I’m biased towards the Byzantine Textform so I primarily favor these three:
NKJV
KJV
WEB
I enjoy the ESV as well. It retains some of the beautiful language used in familiar passages (ex. Psalm 23)
NKJV
NASB
And I suppose the ESV unless I'm allowed to choose the NIV 1984, which had the benefit of being a very smooth read.

Cambridge!... Top of the line... Btw you got a good wife!... Brother Glen
Amen sir and thank you! Schuyler also has a gem in the Canterbury KJV edition.

Martin, when I’m reading through the Old Testament I reference the NIV quite a bit for the same reason.
Indeed.
Never would have guessed a Calvinist would choose ESV.
Never heard of the Schuyler Canterbury KJV edition but I did take a look and I have enough KJV's... That does look like a nice one though... Brother Glen
Forgot one my Thompson Chain Reference KJV!

To be sure, Calvinists don’t choose the ESV, it’s been pre-determined...
Now look what you did, you riled up the Calvinist... Now we are never going to hear the end of it... You'll learn!... Brother Glen

Thanks for the heads up, Brother Glen!
I also meant to mention I have read the MEV New Testament and I like it as well. To me it reads very similar to the ESV, but has a different textual basis of course.
KJV
NASB
NIV
Am I the only one with that combo?
