KJV and Mental Instability: Not a good combination. Give him a good modern English translation and tell him God wants to communicate with him in his own language, not that of Robin Hood's.

Most dollar stores have them. Can't get much cheaper than that.

explain your desire to your own or any minister and you'll probably find a freebie. Second hand books stores would have 1 very cheap. I'm certain that organizations exist for the sole purpose of providing bibles... I think 1 is called Bibles for America. try a google/yahoo search of "free bibles"
seek and ye shall find

the after effects of drug use, gambling and financial problems - in short, he's quite a mess right now
You might want to suggest BuddhaNet.com as he needs to understand and defeat the root causes of his problems.

How cheap do you need. Barnes & Nobles has KJV starting at $3.79 new - that's cheaper than all but one of the used ones I found. Another was $4.98 new, as low as $1.99 used.
If he has a computer, ping me back, and I'll tell you where to download one for free.

King James is really a poor choice for someone unfamiliar with it. I strongly suggest a NIV or other modern language version. Don't make him have to guess what archaic words and phrases mean.

Does any one here know of an organization online that I can order a free or low-cost KJB from and have it mailed to my friend?
Go down to Borders and buy one.
Most I've seen so far are downloads.
American Standard Version of 1901, from ccel.org. King James, same source.
Bibles (in good shape and not some weird sectarian version) are something I watch for at garage sales, for the purpose of giving away should someone I encounter want one.
