1631 "Wicked Bible"
"This King James Version Bible is an unspeakably rare collector’s item. The
printers were fined 300 pounds sterling for their terrible typographical error
in printing the Ten Commandments, omitting the all-important word “not” and
rendering the verse as, “Thou shalt commit adultery”! The lot of 1,000 copies
were ordered destroyed, but only a handful escaped destruction, making them the
rarest of rare. This is the only one for sale in the world."
