The Book Club of California had the unique opportunity to acquire from the Huntington Library a fragment of an extremely rare and important Bible which has been at the center of historical and bibliographical controversy ever since its publication… Each copy has an original leaf from this Bible, accompanied by a specially commissioned article by Dr. Alan Wikgren, Professor Emeritus of the University of Chicago Divinity School.
