Bible
For anyone who thinks information about the bible I found may be helpful, I have provided links to the only information pages. The earlisest printing date is 1952, but there is no clear reference. There is, of course, no ISBN.

Re: Bible
That looks right to me. All we really know about it is that it is approximately octavo with HOLY BIBLE all in caps written in the upper left-hand corner. There is actually a picture of the bible hanging on one of the bookshelves of the Sood’s office, but it is very difficult to make out. It gives an idea of what the spine of the bible should look like. Personally, I think that detail is just a bother.
I am confident that I have found another bible, so I will not be bidding against you on this one.

Re: Bible
As far as props go, that seems to be it. With a black felt pen, the bit of lighter color showing through would disappear. It's pre-roughed up appearance actually adds to the authenticity.
Some collector should definitely get that. I doubt anyone but a collector will bid on it.

Re: Bible
My Bible orginated from Australia. Its size is approx 6x3.75 and the pages are 5.25x3. from The British and Foreign Bible Society, London. It has an inscripton dated 1959 from a grandmother to her grandson. It appears she had it for many years in great care and he continued to give it care and use. I mostly acquired it because the leather was in very decent condition and the 'Holy Bible' printing on the cover was in the general position.
I am still debating to UL photos for the simple reason my camera does not do well for anything closer than three feet. I suppose I should rig up one of those CSI measuring L grids to give the Bible some sense of relative size...

Re: Bible
Yay! I just won this one:
I also saw this one on Ebay that could work if someone wanted to cut off the edges where it zippers closed.

Re: Bible
And you picked up the Collins bible way cheap. I said you would. It was ¼ what you would have paid for the Cambridge.
