Item description from seller

White cloth bound to spine with patterned paper on boards and gilt lettering to spine. High quality production - Limited Edition to 200 copies this is No. 85. "The book is set in 16 point point Centaur, on a page size six and a half by nine and a half. The text is enclosed in rules and set so as to bring out the clarity and the poetry of the King James version. David Read's commentary runs as marginal notes and is printed in blue-grey. Where, as Dr. Read has it, God puts "a little psalm" into the mouth of Jonah, the text bursts forth into a splendid red. The book is printed on Arches paper; the binding by Gray Parrot, lately of Hancock, Maine, is backed in vellum stamped in gold, with side papers designed by Sebastian Carter of the Rampant Lions Press of England. The four animals in woodcuts by Elaine Young - a big fish, a dove, a worm and a cow - are printed from the original blocks." Laid-in is the explanation/summary/order guide for the book.
