American Standard Version Of The Holy Bible 1901 -

New York: Thomas Nelson & Sons, 1929. This book was printed by Watchtower but the copyright is Thomas Nelson 1901/1929, and the translation has NOT BEEN TAMPERED WITH! This was the translation used by the JW prior to the publication of their New World Translation. John 1:1 in this one reads "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God! One possible reason for use by JW prior to the New World Translation is because the name YHWH is translated Jehovah in the ASV 1901. 1408 pages, double column, with 95 page concordance and 4 maps, SCARCE BLUE CLOTH cover with gilt lettering on front cover and spine, 4" x 6", The print is darker and larger than the tan colored hardcovers that we see more often, double column also a bit wider than the tan ones even though overall this one is slightly smaller than the tan covered HC copies.
