My Dad bought this Cambridge KJV Bible bound in French Morocco leather 41 years ago today. I inherited it when he died and cherish it to this day. In 1971 we were living in Weslaco, Texas. Here are some pictures of my father's Bible.
The morocco leather cover is worn from use.
The title page. This edition was published in Great Britain.
Dad's Bible is filled with notes. Here is the presentation page.

In the back of Dad's Bible he wrote a list of verses that were important to him.
Altogether, Dad listed 123 verses which had special meaning to him. I cherish these verses because he cherished them.
In the front of his Bible Dad wrote these verses.
