On EBay-UK: 1806 HOUGHTON FAMILY BIBLE w/Engravings BIG!! Item # 1493321754 Description: Here is another one of those huge old leather bound Bibles (I have two on eBay at the moment, so please have a look at the other one too). This one measures 15 x 10 inches and is a little over 3 inches thick. As you can imagine it is quite heavy, but I have a shipping option that allows me to send it to USA for only $22 (airmail). Within UK it would be parcelforce standard at $15.This bible has excellent prints, which are mostly nice and clean (a few have a little foxing). The frontispiece print is badly foxed. The first few pages are loose, including the title page, the frontis., and a few pages that have the family history of the Houghton from the 1760s to the 1820s. Here you have three full pages of names, births and deaths of the Houghtons. The rest is well attached to the binding (must be over 1000 pages). There is some foxing hee and there throughout, but it's not bad overall. The leather of the binding is quite worn, and the front board is detached. Published by J. Tregortha of Burslem, 1806. Interestingly, it has the original spine label in gilt red leather, preserved inside the front cover. This label bears the name Joseph Houghton and is dated 1809.
