Technically you could say it's used.  I've protected it so much the past year I've had it. It's only been out of the box a few times.  It's never been written in anywhere! The paper is from Paris and is incredibly smooth! The Goatskin is the same as the RL Allen's it's truly an amazing Bible! I want to donate the money from this sale, so it's for a good cause. I have way to many Bibles, yes this is the crown jewel of my collection! But it's time to pass it onto someone else who will appreciate this work of art. It is the 1611 edition! I paid 280 for it from Amazon!  It is in excellent like new condition! Thank you for looking! God Bless!
