Not too long ago it was my 43rd Birthday. It was not a humdinger in any respects, went out with the Mrs for dinner, got a little cash from my folks (still blessed with health & wealth) and I boght a few 'toys' - coins & books. This one was the absolute humdinger - a facsimile edition of Luther's 1534 Bible - complete with watercolored woodcuts - WoWzA!

Beast of Revelation Attacking Woman With 12 Stars
I got mine off of Amazon here for $89
More about the book here
I have an electronic version of it with my E-Sword Bible software. I ran of Genesis chap 1 and added the English text of Webster's KJV beneath it like an interlinear and read it over to familiarize myself with the vocabulary then sat down and read Genesis chap 1 out of that big ole Luther Bible. I was in total Lutheran-theology-junkie-Himmel!
TTFN,
Jim
