A genuine 1920 Holman Pronouncing Edition of the Holy Bible — an original A.J. Holman Co. printing from Philadelphia. This compact King James Version features phonetic pronunciation marks, India paper, and a supple leather cover with natural wear from a century of life and reverence.
The title page bears a handwritten date of April 14, 1920, making it a tangible relic from the post-WWI era — the kind of Bible that might’ve traveled in a soldier’s coat pocket or sat quietly on a family nightstand through generations.
