The Holy Bible (King James Version, 'He' Bible)

This is the record where the donor caveat matters most: a Bible in a family's hands is almost always a 19th-century or later printing whose interest is genealogical rather than bibliographic. The single most important reprint tell is the 1833 Oxford 'exact reprint', which follows the 1611 page-for-page and word-for-word — spelling, punctuation, italics, capitals, and the distribution into lines and pages all reproduced with scrupulous care — but which substitutes roman type for the original's black letter. Typeface alone separates it from the original at a glance. Photographic facsimiles of the 1611 are widely sold and are generally identifiable by machine-made paper and modern binding structure.
