I'm not sure of the publication date, I've found other copies with a 1910 date but I have yet to see a date on this copy. There is a separation from the pages to the cover at the front of the book as shown in the pictures. Other parts of the bible are in better condition. Please look at all the pictures to accurately assess the condition of this book and email any questions. I will combine shipping costs for buyers of multiple items unless the auction includes free shipping. In the event of multiple auction wins with items from both Free Shipping auctions and auctions with a shipping cost the cost of shipping will include the amount from the auction that has a shipping cost. Please wait to pay until you get an invoice with a combined shipping price. Do not hesitate to email me with any questions on this prior to bidding. Please look closely at the photos, my photos are part of my description, ask questions before you bid. Different angles available on request, rulers, metal or wooden display stands or tape measures are not included in this sale. Item comes from a non-smoking, one cat home. Our cat stays out of our merch but if you have concerns please email and we will check over the item in question. Please have a look at my store for more great items!
