A READER'S BIBLE.
Most editions of the Bible small enough to be readily handled have type faces so condensed that reading is a task involving effort and eye-strain. This- is due to the typographical and binding difficulties involved in compressing three-quarters of a million wordstile length of seven average novels— into a volume of such size that it can be handled with comfort and sold at a reasonable price. The problems here involved have been very adequately solved by the Syndics of the Cambridge University who have produced a new edition which has many valuable features. It is. easy to handle, printed on thin but tough and opaque paper and it has a type face, cut specially for this service, which is infinitely more readable than the average Bible of similar size. The volume includes the translators' preface to the reader, while the omigsion of the traditional italics throughout the text greatly adds to the ease and comfort of the reader. The new edition is sold in a variety of bindings.
