    FTR, all "Cambridge" "KJV" such as the one you listed - the "KJB-PCE - Pure Cambridge Edition (CBE) of the KJV found on-line here: ---" is the genuine article, by definition, regardless of any variants of spelling.

    This is also true of an "Oxford" and also any printings of 'Barker' cum William Collins Sons & Co., LTD, and Eyre & Spottiswoode, as these are the only entities to have been granted the "Cum Privilegio" privileges of these rights that are, to this day, retained by the English Crown, and the Church of England.

    [The actions taken by the US Congress in 1782 (and later actions) first 'authorizing' the Bible to be printed by Robert Aitken (and later, by others) notwithstanding.]

    Hence, unless printed under a specific license granted by one of the four above entities, any American publication of the KJV is "counterfeit" by definition, regardless of how said text may read.

    I was just joking about the KJV but I have a hard cover Scofield around here also. I like Scofield though I am not really a dispensationalist...
