Improbably, (but predictably off-topic), I possess an early 17th century quarto-sized edition of the 1560 Geneva Bible, otherwise known as the ‘breeches bible’, which for a long time was was the most widely-used English translation. Notable among other things for its Calvinist-tending annotations, dislike of which was one of the main prompts for James I to commission his own 1611 ‘Authorised Version’.
