Longprimer Reference Bible, 52 NB S (Navy Blue Meriva Calfskin Leather) KJV

First printed in 1952, the KJV Longprimer Reference Bible is a sumptuous, traditional reference setting of the Authorized Version. Developed by Oxford University Press and now published exclusively by R. L. Allan, it is renowned the world over for its clarity of type and beautiful bindings.

This beautiful edition of the 52 Longprimer is bound in a soft Navy blue Meriva natural grain calfskin with a generous semi-yapp cover, leather-lined in navy split calfskin, with silver gilt line round the inside of the case, and features double-sprayed blue-under-silver art gilt page edges and three silver grey ribbon markers with white head and tail bands.

The 52 Longprimer edition includes Allan's distinctive 8pp Presentation Page and Family Record as well as 32pp of navy feint rule Allan notepaper in addition to the dictionary of proper names, subject index, concordance and 16 pages of Oxford Bible maps. 

The latest Longprimer printings hark back to a vintage copy of the classic Longprimer, printed in the period 1952-1958 under Charles Batey, then Printer to the University of Oxford, returning to a page image that is much closer to the original intentions of the typesetters. This new-old page image retains the large, clear type of the Longprimer we all know and love, but has a crisper letter form and less of the broken type and 'spread' that mark out much-used letterpress typesettings subsequently transferred to film and, only more recently, to digital scans.
