I have a KJV that was printed in 1960's and it has so much more extra informaton in it then the bibles today
What happen to the apostles they think, where they preached, children storys in it
It about a 7 pound bible though, it a home bible it not one you would take to church, and if you did, they would laugh at you...

My oldest bible is from the civil war. It's called a Family Bible; but basically it's a KJV with an area in front for you to write names, children, birthdays death dates, who married who, you know family history the family tree. Mine goes back about 7 or 8 generations.

LOL I have one like that too, it's gigantic!
And no, I certainly wouldn't carry it to church, if I even carry one it would be the little KJV that has no references in it ... I don't generally carry a Bible to church because they always put the words they are reading from on the screen anyway. With 2 small girls and all the accessories that go with them, it's just one less thing to carry! lol

my oldest? like, 10 yrs old hahaha.
but a friend i know has one thats been passed down thru the family, its was once in a prison and the prisoners actually re-bound it and mended/re-produced each page as it was fraying terribly, over the years it was fixed up and although fragile, is beautiful, so cared for. it has a strange metal and wooden cover, with patterns on it, and two decorative latches to close it. it is huge, like, maybe heavier than i big bowling ball, and it has soooo much info in it. its got the maps, and a commentary, and all sorts of things ive never seen before... its hundreads of years old, i love it, im like SELL IT TO ME! haha, but its sentemental, i can understand that.

The oldest one I personally have is from the late 80s, a RSV that was given to me in the beginning of fourth grade from my then-church.
