The Geneva Bible is just about the only English Bible I dont have a copy yet. One of these days. . .
I pick up obscure bibles when I see them. I bet I've got some you don't.
For instance, the only copy I have ever seen of the English Revised Version (predecessor of the American Standard Version), is the copy I have. Which copy is a diglot, English on facing pages with the Wescott and Hort Greek text. Alas, the paper is quite fragile now -- this is nothing I would want to use.

There are two others still available (albeit not in the best format):
1) http://evangelicalbible.com/product/cambridge-kjv-rv-interlinear-black-calfskin/
2) http://www.crimondhouse.com/
The Crimond House one is better in my view because its marginal RV text is easier on the eyes than the interlinear Cambridge. Here’s a nice review of the Crimond House version: http://markdryden.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-new-acquisition-two-version-bible.html
I have a copy of the Monser’s ASV based The Cross-Reference Bible which is a fantastic resource. It’s available online too: https://archive.org/details/crossreferencebi00mons
If you want an ASV for reading purposes - something small enough to carry around - there’s nothing better than this one: https://starbible.com/american-standard-version-teachers-edition

I understand. I’m glad that more people are republishing old books - even if it often just facsimile versions - because otherwise so many old books would be lost to us.
