By the way, facsimiles of the original 1611 KJV and the1560 Geneva Bible are on sale on eBay for 85$ & 89$. I paid 250$ for the same exact edition many years ago.

LOVE reading my Thomas Nelson 1611 hardback. Amazed at how much of the Geneva (even spelling) was "borrowed".

LOVE all the alternative words in the margin of the original 1611, as opposed to later KJV revisions that no longer consider such "word-choices" and claim only the exact words of whatever KJV revision they think "perfect" to be allowed.

Bought two volume - NEW KJV and 1611 AV for $29.95 and a great investment!

My Hebrew prof at Tennessee Temple, James Price, one day was walking down a hall with the 1611 hardback in his hand when a KJV-Only student asked what it was. Dr. Price let him see it, but alas, the student couldn't read it!
