Have to say I'm kind of surprised about the bibles part. Aren't those usually printed by smaller church-associated publishers?

There are some dedicated publishers that make bibles (most any Christian publishing house will have a bible of some sort) but the big names on Amazon or the bookstore are from the big houses (often under an imprint, mind you).
