We are pleased to announce that we have obtained stock of many of the volumes of the exceedingly rare set and have also received permission to reprint the volumes that have been long out of print. Only a few hundred lovers of special books possess sets of this history of the English Bible. The books are commended by many scholars of distinction and are praised for their beauty, with hundreds of illustrations from authentic sources, besides noble bindings maroon and guilt, not to mention attractive dust jackets.

The volumes are as follows: (those in red are currently out of print, the others are available for £15 each, incl. post, which is the same as they were selling for in 1995.)

Our plan is to reprint the volumes that are out of print over the next year. Every endeavour will be made to match the original bindings but as the series was published over a period of 15-20 years the shade of the cloth used varied. What we can guarantee is that the volumes will match in size and the dustjackets will remain the same. We do not expect to be reprinting all the volumes so as to produce a totally new set as there are significant quantites of some volumes remaining whilst others are down to the last 30 copies. The volumes, though a set, are actually, in most cases, stand-alone volumes covering a particular subject or aspect of the history.
