Yes you can get a KJV Pew-Bible for around $10.00, that will not have notes. There may be a few changed words from the 1769, but are a big improvement on using any modern version.

The only problem I have with Cambridge, is their use of 6.5 point print. Being on my 5th pair of glasses, this is just not comfortable to read. My Scofield uses 10 point bold type, much better for me at least. Its not what you would call large print, but maybe medium.

It does come out to 1948 pages though, and 1.5 inches thick, or maybe a tad over. But a lot of that is attributed to the additional information, on many of the pages.

I have a Thompson Chain, they do not have notes, and follow the KJV 1769 version pretty close, but not altogether. But again 6.5 point print, and not bold either, but standard. The text seems to be sometimes Oxford, and at others Cambridge.

Is the 1873 one good? That's what I have.

I'm not sure, although I do know it's in most Cambridge editions and it's paragraphed

I just found one!. A small old, old, Bible store out the street from me had a 1917 Old Scofield edition. They said they have had them for a long time, and the boxes show it.

Anyway it is smith-sewn, leather bound. The only thing is it is an all black letter edition. But that doesn't bother me in the least.

I even got a leather case for it, the final price was $91.00, but I am very happy with it.
