The Prayer Book contains the time-honoured text of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, used in homes and churches throughout the world. The page format and layout are the same as the Cambridge BCP Enlarged Edition. The Bible has full cross-references and is in the classic Pitt Minion format, noted for its elegant layout. The text has been freshly typeset and unusually for a KJV Bible, features paragraph format. The book is bound in black calf split leather with a presentation page and two ribbon markers. Review: Excellent Bible! - I love this Bible and definitely recommend it. In terms of the physical attributes, it is a solid value for sure. The calf-split leather looks nice and is on the firm side. While it will lay flat (especially after some use), it is not like a floppy goatskin Bible. Easy to hold open with one hand. I’d say the cover will definitely take some abuse. I love the paper. I actually like it better than the fancier paper in my Cambridge Turquoise KJV Bible. It is thicker and more robust and easier to grab and turn. It is the same paper that is in the Cambridge large print cameo text KJV Bible. Just in case you were familiar with that. It’s also a great size. Not too big to travel with but still has a good readable font. Even for my 60 year old eyes. I also really like the NRSV UE translation. I’d say it is somewhere in between the NIV and the ESV. It’s on the literal side, but still flows really nicely. I find it a great accompaniment to the KJV version. I know in today’s world there are all kinds of camps in terms of what translation is “best” or most faithful to the original. I am a translation geek and have quite a number of them and personally enjoy reading them all. After spending time with it, the NRSV UE is high on my list. Finally, if you’re not British, don’t be afraid of the “British text.” The few words that are spelled in British English are a non-issue to this American reader. Review: A worthy purchase - So here is the good and the bad. First off, I love this prayerbook overall. While I obviously have a '79 BCP I find the humanist bent of that book a little much for me at times. I also have truly grown to appreciate the beauty in the language of the 1662. The real bonus of this book is the Bible being connected to the BCP. I do not use the supplied lectionary but I have made my own that takes me through the whole Bible and carrying both a prayerbook and a Bible around separately was a real pain. I find this combination convenient and while I prefer the ESV I don't mind the KJV (its certainly better than the NRSV) as the rest of the prayers are in old English. I was debating as to whether I should get the leather or hardback but I am glad that I sprung for the leather. Now for the not so great. While I believe the '79 to be a bit humanist I would say that the 1662 is a little over the top penitential at times. For instance, the prayers for the sick basically says that God made the person sick because of their sin and to teach that wicked sinner a lesson. I like the daily office (including the Psalms), the rite for Eucharist, the Articles and Catechism, and perhaps the marriage order but the rest of the prayerbook is a little much for me. Also, to address the found size. There is no getting around it the Bible found is small. I would have personally opted for a larger book (both hieght/ width as well as thickness) before allowing the font size to drop below 8. However, with that said, it is not unreadable and I usually just use a little pocket sized magnifier that works great as a bookmark as well (since it is sadly lacking in ribbons). I can read the Bible w/o the magnifier but why strain the eyes? Lastly, while I am glad that I got the leather bound edition the leather is not as nice as the Moroccan Leather offered with the 1662 w//o the Bible. All in all it was a great purchase and I don't feel sorry for having it at all. I use the daily office everyday and read the Bible regularly without a problem. If you love your Anglican heritage or just are in the market for a solid orthodox prayerbook that isn't smeared with Romish prayers and doctrine, this is the book for you! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #9,449,243 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9,896 in Christian Bibles (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 28 Reviews | ## Images ![Heritage Edition Bible and Prayer Book Black Calf Split CPKJ424 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FHGvYldrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Bible! *by G***N on May 4, 2026* I love this Bible and definitely recommend it.

On this sight its about $20 cheaper. Any way I see a lot of negative reviews on the web for this edition. I think its right nearly perfect. First off the paper is 45gsm which means its thicker and whiter than paper back in the 60s. Because of the line matching and new paragraph form with new typesetting; it makes the KJV a whole lot more readable than most 11pt font kjv. There are none of those pesky self quotes and no red letter. The only drawback in my opinion is that the bible is in the back, like it was an afterthought. They should have shown more reverence to the word of God than sticking His book in the back of a man made prayer book. The prayer book itself has super huge fonts compared to the Pitt minion KJV. That's is a little tacky too. I would have done the opposite to this edition. I would have put the bible in front with large font and put the prayer book in the back in tiny font. The book would still be about the same thickness. The size of the book is hand sized and 1 7/8 inches thick, looks like an 18th century children's bible. The leather is calf split, for those not in the know. Calf split is the opposite of calfskin. Split is very hard and extremely pebbly. Skin is soft supple and so smooth it shines. I was disappointed at first by the calf dplit , but after I used it a little it loosened up enough that I can tell that its real leather and not bonded. It feels like super thick bonded leather but its not, the stamped this leather with pebble grain hense why it looks fake. But you get what you pay for. If you want better leather then get the hardcover and get it rebound you will be looking at around $280 bucks going that road. Quality leather costs. Overall I am very pleased and would recommend to anyone wanting a Pitt minion. If goatskin or calfskin don't matter to you then go with this edition because you get the 2 most influential English books ever published. Oh yeah there is no Apocrypha, technically this should get four stars but since I really like Cambridge I'm keeping it 5. The purple edition is actually a very dark deep purple kinda like what navy is to blue. I wish I had gotten the purple instead but the black just looks right; you know? The fit and finish is very nice when you open it up the cover pushes out against your hand almost like its caressing the text the way a mother holds her baby. That is how covets are supposed to work. So kudos to the Italian binders. I absolutely love the size it is as thick as a study bible but as small as a hand size, it is like they built it to fit my style of hands. This bible is very very sturdy and was built to be used, and use it I will. THIS IS A PRAYER BOOK / BIBLE. Just wanted there to be no confusion to anyone else out there. The prayer book is more like a devotional. Some of the doctrine I strongly disagree with, such as saying that God tempts us and the reason why your sick is because your evil and have sin and God will cure you when you repent. I'm sorry but that is very very wrong and goes to show you that people back in the 1600s were as ignorant as we are today. Other than that most of the prayer book was a valiant love letter to Gods word. Thank you for taking time to read my review and considering this edition. (Seriously though, its well worth the money). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9522800-heritage-edition-bible-and-prayer-book-black-calf-split-cpkj424](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9522800-heritage-edition-bible-and-prayer-book-black-calf-split-cpkj424) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
