I went to the site of the publishers of the bible and it does seem like the margins are quite wide. Here is a free download link to the book of romans for anyone to download freely and see:http://www.tollelegepress.com/gb/1599-Romans.pdfHere is a great site with much more information on the bible:http://www.tollelegepress.com/gb/geneva.phpHere also is a interesting facismile version of the old 1560 edition:http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=562125&kw=562125&en=froogle&p=1013824#curr
The Geneva bible is interesting because of the notes in the margin made by the Reformers. I want to get this bible only account of those notes.

Which copy of the Geneva Bible is more to the English of King James? Is it the 1599 edition? I'd like to get a copy, but I don't want to get the copy that has "F" for "S", for example. "Teftement" or "Affurance". Thanks
