Bibliotheca (Bible)

Bibliotheca is a four-volume version of the Bible to be published in 2016. It omits verse and chapter numbers in order to enhance the reading experience.[1] It uses the American Standard Version translation with some modifications,[2] but resembles the ESV Readers' Bible, published by Crossway just one month earlier, which does not have verse numbers but does have chapter numbers and is one volume.[3]

Bibliotheca is able to use opaque paper rather than Bible paper, because it is four volumes. It was funded through a Kickstarter campaign which raised over $1.4 million.[4]
