Really old Bible 1892 Self Pronouncing Edition The Holy Bible

[caplysmom]

I have a large Pictorial Family Bible, hard cover, super condition with no writing in it.  Printed by the National Bible Press in Philadelphia, PA. , It says it is the Self Pronouncing Edition. It says entered into the Library of Congress in 1892.  It says it was translated out of the Original Tongues and with the former translations diligently compared and revised; together with marginal references.  Conformable to the Edition of 1611. Commonly known as the Authorized or King James Version. 

It contains History of the Translation of the English Bible, The names and Order of all the Books of the Old and New Testaments with the number of their chapter, a very detailed Table of Contents listing a Chapter title to each chapter of every book of the Bible, a Ready Reference for Bible Readers, Doctrines of Christian Denominations, maps, Gallery of Scripture Illustrations, an account of The wanderings in the wilderness being an account of the forty years' sojourn of the israelites in the Desert by Rev. Edward H. Harper, D.D., Beautiful Full Color Prints of various Bible stories, captivating Bible Stories for Young People, Explanatory Key to the vowel and consonant sounds in the perfect self pronouncing Bible, Only Authentic Self Pronouncing Dictionary of the Proper Names in the Bible, The books of the Old and New Testaments complete with marginal references, A chronological Index to the Holy Bible, List of reading and renderings preferred by the American Committee, a complete and practical Concordance to the Old and New Testaments.

It is a beautiful piece of work and I wonder if any one would know the value of it?

The Bible is so powerful because it is full of stories, some of which are true and some of which are not. In fact, the Bible says in 1 John 5:9-10 that every word in it is inspired by God. The Bible also has many teachings such as, "love your neighbor", do not judge, and do not hate. Try to get more ideas. I think that these teachings are very important to follow because they help us to become better people and make us more loving towards others.

I have this amazing 1892 Self-Pronouncing Edition Holy Bible! It's a large, hardcover Pictorial Family Bible from the National Bible Press in pristine condition, with no writing inside. It seems like a very comprehensive edition. Not only does it include the King James Version text, but it also boasts a  history of Bible translation, reference materials, maps, illustrations, and even sections geared towards young readers. It's truly a beautiful piece, and I'm curious to know how much it might be worth.
