This is our original Tiny Bible that we launched on Kickstarter. It’s the entire Bible in the King James Version.
The world hasn’t seen a Bible this size in more than a century, and it’s our pleasure to reintroduce it. We believe that since the Bible is the word of God, it’s the most valuable physical possession we can own. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God endures forever.
Tiny Bible makes a perfect gift for your spouse or loved one. It’s the Bible you know your pastor doesn’t have yet. Many buy them to give to their children or grandchildren as part of their legacy. Some bring them on backpacking trips to enjoy the full word of God around the campfire. Some keep them on their coffee tables as conversation starters. Tiny Bible has been consecrated in burial as the cornerstone of church edifices. It has made its way into military bases and prisons. Because it is highly concealable from tyrannical governments, it can be smuggled into some tight places.
Magnifying Glass Lens
This magnifying glass lens comes free with every Tiny Bible purchase to assist in reading (we also sell them separately in case you need additional). With young eyes, you can read Tiny Bible without this (here’s a video demonstrating), but magnification is a helpful assistance to all ages.
Typesetting
Tiny Bible’s typesetting is by Scribe Inc, a Philadelphia-based company that knows the ins and outs of Bible typesetting. Tiny Bible is typeset in a font family called Edita, which we chose after real-life user testing with several different fonts. Edita has a font style that is particularly designed for small font sizes. Click here to view a sample of the first 5 pages of the gospel of John with a 3mm bleed around the edge. Note: Don’t be intimidated by the size! In our experience, the desktop browser preview is smaller than actual real-life page dimensions of 1.93 x 1.46 inches. You can zoom in to have a closer look.
Printing & Binding
At this size, Tiny Bible has to be bound by hand which is very time-consuming. At scale, this is almost unheard of in Western publishing houses. After conversations with numerous Bible printers, we’ve partnered with R.R. Donnelley’s Asia facility to print and bind Tiny Bible. It is 896 pages, smythe-bound (stitch bound) in 14 signatures of 64 pages each. The cover is made of beautiful black milled cowhide.
Translation
This printing of Tiny Bible is in the Cambridge edition of the King James Version. We picked this translation for several reasons: it’s a faithful, formal-equivalence translation, it doesn’t require a license, and it continues to be widely loved and daily used. For those interested, we also offer an NKJV Tiny Bible.

International Shipping
If your shipping address is outside the United States, our store puts the onus on you to pay import taxes and duties at the time of delivery, rather than charging you up-front at checkout, which means import taxes and duties are not reflected in the cost on this site. Our setup is technically known as delivered-at-place (DAP) incoterms. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. The software sticker price for intelligently computing, charging, and remitting import taxes and duties is prohibitively expensive at our size.
Return Policy
Due to Tiny Bible’s highly unusual size, part of the binding process must be done by hand which is normally completed by machines. These human factors may cause rare quality control missteps. We stand by our product, and if for any reason your Tiny Bible arrives defective or damaged, you may return or exchange your purchase within 30 days of its arrival. Please contact us with your order number to begin this process.
