I'm actually scouring the internet (mostly ebay) for the oldest available english version of the bible (under 100 bucks) that I can find. Looking to read it again, I've skimmed the hotel versions of the King James New Testament but am interested in finding one that hasnt been plagued by a million translations and updates.

My thoughts are, the older the publishing date the less amount of times the particular version has been rewritten. I've got my eye currently on a leather bound one from 1712 for about 60 bucks plus some more on shipping. I'm not committed yett, but I think if anything it'll be neat to say I have near 300 year old book in my collection.

Sorta hoping it'll be like a Brothers Grimm type deal, Real flat out spitting some fire and brimstone style work rather than the dollar store bibles printed in a near politically correct fashion now a days.
