This is/was an antique Bible I had as a little girl. I bought it for 50 cents at an antique show when I was six years old. It had several little illustrations throughout. I remember being so excited it was over 100 years old! I had no idea then miniature books were so collectible. (Though I did like my mid/late 1960's Big Little Books.)
Depending upon different sources, its value has increased to $50-$200. Not a bad investment! It was printed in Sandbornton, New Hampshire in 1835 and gifted on June 25, 1840. Here's an interesting article about Sandbornton.
I recently gave it to a friend of mine whose birthday was the day after this was inscribed (not the year!) and is studying to become a Deacon.
