Excellent book

I am reading and reviewing The King James Bible: A Short History from Tyndale to Today, by David Norton (Cambridge University Press, just published in paperback March 2011) for a piece to come soon in the Christian Century. I highly recommend Norton's book. It covers much of the same material as my Verily, Verily, but adds to the historical story I tell with details on the reception of the KJV up through the eighteenth century, and textual variants that occurred throughout that century, as well.
