Product Description

First sold as a Special Purchase edition back in 2023, we have returned to this handsome and hugely popular colourway for 2025.

A striking edition of our flagship KJV Longprimer Sovereign, the Allan 63 GRY R is bound in Dark Grey Highland goatskin with full yapp, gold embossing and red under gold page edges, leather-lined in a contrasting shade of crimson red with double gilt lines inside and crimson red ribbon markers.

First printed in 1952, the King James Version Longprimer 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 has for many years been our flagship Bible, renowned the world over for its clarity of type and our beautiful bindings.

The Longprimer Sovereign edition retains the same clear type as the standard Longprimer but is printed on a 40gsm writable Bible paper with the highest levels of opacity, and increased margins (one inch on outside and bottom edges) to show the text block off to greatest effect and further enhance the reading experience.

Bound in a sumptuous dark grey highland goatskin and leather-lined in crimson red, this unique Bible also features red under gold page edges, gold embossing on front and spine and double gold gilt lines inside, three crimson red ribbon markers, presentation pages and family record in Allan's new improved design, dictionary of proper names, subject index, concordance, 32 pages of lined writing paper and 16 pages of Oxford Bible maps.
