I received a gift that I can pass on to my family, I'm sure that I might bore some of you but I have to say that I am totally made up about this gift.
We already have one within the family and it is well over 100 years old but it is in the possession of my Aunt who has a family of her own to pass it on to so the likely hood of me getting to own it is slim and I would love to have it, so having one of my own has made me elated.
This is the kind of big Family Bible “they don’t make anymore,”
traditional King James text features clear, readable type and generous margins
Illustrated with 116 Rembrandt masterpieces!
leather-bound
22ct gold-accented heirloom edition
An illuminated section allows you to record your family's history.
This is just one of the illustrated 44 colour paintings and 72 monochrome drawings and etchings by Rembrandt van Rijn

Oh no, not bored. I think this would the ultimate of gifts. An absolutely beautiful heirloom to pass on.
What a wonderful gift to receive. Such a beautiful bible. I help out a bookbinder and quite often he receives family bibles to repair. It is terrific to look through and see the family names inscribed.
That is absolutely gorgeous Jak, what a wonderful Gift for you to share with your family and pass on in years to come.

That is both beautiful and such a thoughtful present, to be able to keep it and note the family happenings to pass on to your children is such a special thing. I can't think anyone would find it boring.

OOhhhh they are gorgous arnt they, we have a family bible just like that but it does look very tired now but certainly is a something to treasure and pass on down the family line. I didnt know that you couldnt get these anymore though., so that makes them even more special. I bet you are really pleased to have received this.
