Have you seen this?
Yes, I have, thanks! The Geneva Bible is the one used in Reformed or Calvinistic churches. What I am looking for is a more affordable copy of the Aitken Bible which as authorized during the American Revolution.

Keep looking.
Maybe some company that wants to make a profit will get a clue.
