The Pocket Canons: The Books of the Bible, Authorized King James Version (Grove Press, $2.95 each, $24.95 the set)

IN time for Christmas, Grove Press offers a boxed dozen small-print, small-sized (4” x 6”) fascicles, each containing a book of the Bible in the King James Version and a brief introduction. Nine of the introductions are by novelists. The remaining three are by Bono, Thomas Cahill, and Kathleen Norris—a rock singer, a popular historian, and a memoirist.
