The Concord Reference Edition is one of Cambridge’s most admired settings: it offers an exceptionally clear and readable typeface, complemented by the innovative Cambridge Bold-Figure Cross-Reference system and printed with references and pronunciation marks on a conveniently sized page.
Cambridge already offers the Concord in fine bindings, including calfskin leather. Now there is an even more splendid binding to grace this beautiful Bible: black goatskin leather – edge-lined for extra suppleness.
This Bible offers a wealth of reference material – a 128-page Bible dictionary, a concordance, a glossary and 15 colour maps. It is printed on India paper with glorious art-gilt edges and two ribbon markers.

A word about the Pure Cambridge Edition (PCE)
The Pure Cambridge Edition of the King James Bible is a specific version of the Authorized King James Version (KJV), first published around 1900 by Cambridge University Press and Collins publishers. It is considered the result of a final textual purification process that refined earlier editions since the original 1611 publication, aiming to restore the text to its most accurate and consistent form. This edition is distinguished by its use of standard Cambridge spelling, precise punctuation, and faithful reproduction of original italics. Key textual differences include “or Sheba” (not “and Sheba”) in Joshua 19:2, “sin” (not “sins”) in 2 Chronicles 33:19, and “Spirit of God” (not “spirit of God”) in Job 33:4. It is often referred to as the “Standard Text” and has been widely used by Bible and missionary societies throughout the 20th century.
