Review
`The World’s Classics Bible [is] a quite extraordinary success.

KJV Bible with Apocrypha
I was glad to find a KJV Bible with Apocrypha, as I had been to a religious bookstore and they did not have it; but the book itself, a new paperback, arrived with a torn cover.

Christians avoid at all costs!!!
