This Bible is said to be the binding style used for the 1830 edition of the Book of Mormon. It is a King James Version of the Bible and was published by the American Bible Society in 1829. The Society was founded in 1816 with the goal of providing a Bible to all those who did not own one. They made a concentrated effort to make sure that a Bible was placed in every household in America. Their motto was, "A Bible to every household." The Society published over one million Bibles over a three year period. This was an unprecedented and staggering number of books to come from an American publisher of the time.
