The 1560 Geneva Bible [modern spelling edition].
Arizona: Wisdom Books, n. d.

This is a reprinting of the 1560 Geneva Bible in modern font and spelling without the marginal notes. It makes the reading of the Geneva Bible easier for present-day English readers.

In my examination so far, it seems to be faithful to the text of the 1560 Geneva Bible except in spelling of some proper names.

This edition changes the unique spelling of some proper names in the 1560 Geneva Bible to how they are usually spelled in the KJV or in present English. "Hevah" at Genesis 3:20 is spelled "Eve" in this edition.
This edition has the spelling "Abel" instead of "Habel," "Isaac" instead of "Izhak," "Jacob" instead of "Jaakob," and "Jesse" instead of "Ishai."

I noticed one printing error in one verse in Psalm 69.
