The Holy Bible By King James Cost me just a few bucks for a printing that was easy to read and hold. I picked this up because of it's influence over so much of literature it's worth having to refer to in context. The footnotes in The Brothers Karamazov, my current read, are frequently pointing to Matthew this or Matthew that.
