I am a christian and I really loves God , and I love to read the bible, but just wondering is there any store or online place to buy a cool bible that looks old fashioned, OBviously I don't want the Old Greek and hebrew ones but like some that look like they are contained in scrolls or like in cursifve, "Know what I mean", I want to kind of feel like the old days. thanks :) And please don't make a big deal out of it. If you don't know and you are not a christian don't leave a useless answer.

Here's a site where you can buy ancient bibles, but they are pretty expensive

Do a search on Amazon for "the Haydock Bible". They are selling a photographic re-print of a Bible that was originally published in the 1800s. We're not exactly talking scrolls, but it has a pretty old-fashioned appearance that you might like. They also have some specimens of the original 1800s version that you can buy for probably a couple hundred.

The Christian Lighthouse Book Store in Long Beach, CA. Off of Bell-flower and Spring is a really cool store. Many variations, cool cases all kinds of Bibles.
Good Luck

You can buy a copy of the original 1611 King James Version with the fancy English stylish lettering and such. The only problems is the English of the 1600's is much different than what we use today and the copy you buy would be $3000-5000

Gil, try shopping around in antique shops. Also yard sales. You may be able to special order such a book from an antiques dealer or even a Christian bookstore.

You guys aren't paying attention. He means a Bible with a look to it that is in an ancient style.
I am sorry, I wish I could direct you to this at once. I myself would like to know if you find it.
If so, let me know at
trepp@telus.net
I am looking for such things for a store.

I don't know where you live, but Amazon.com has a selection of good Bible. 'The Spirit Filled Bible' is good, because they give you explanations at the bottom. Hope this helps a little. and - God Bless

I would probably search some Christians stores like Crossway and some others ones.

The original NT was mostly written on codex and no one that I know of still reproduces these books on the original media.
