    Wondering the rarity of this printing its Rhode Island print most I've seen are PA.

    Looking to sell it online or local unfortunately its front and back cover are detached so needs rebind.

    question is regarding any info / link about this print

    Thanks!

    wondering if certain states printed less or is there a state that would be most desirable to have I don't think any of the 1874 are 1st editions

    was wondering if there is any info on the number of pressing thank you~

    It's not the state itself that matters - it's the publisher and where they happen to be.

    We need more info on this edition to help you. There is probably at least 1 more page in the front that will provide more and better information about it's printing.

    I don't see any date on the page you have attached -- neither 1874 or 1881? Where did you find a date?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Does this Bible happen to have a family register, filled in? People often wrote the births, marriages, and deaths in their family. If so, somebody might want it. At the very least, there are archives and genealogical libraries who would want photocopies or scans of the pages that list the family information.
