The 120-Book Holy Bible and Apocrypha hardcover is the largest Scripture and apocryphal collection ever published, featuring all 54 books of the 2022 edition of The Complete Apocrypha and all 66 books of the Holy Bible, plus additional writings, charts, and maps. It's the new, literal, easy-to-read, definitive collection of Christian and Jewish [non-gnostic] Scriptures and apocryphal books. It's also the longest single-volume published book in the world at over 1.5 million words, exceeding even the Guinness World Record holder À la recherche du temps perdu by Marcel Proust at 1.3 million words.
- All 39 books of the Old Testament, 27 books of the New Testament, and 54 books of the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, and Apostolic Fathers, all revised and retranslated into a clean, literal, and easy-to-read translation: the complete LSV collection. This is the largest and most comprehensive collection of non-Gnostic Scriptures and apocryphal books ever produced (120 books in total). This substantially exceeds the Catholic Bible (73 books), Ethiopian Bible (81 books), and even the Cepher (87 books).
- This quality hardcover has elegant, 9.5-point typeface and minimized verse numbers for a more engrossing, novel-like reading experience. Thick white pages are used for high contrast and minimal bleed-through.
- The 54 included apocryphal works contain approximately 90% as much material as the standard 66 books of The Holy Bible, thus this complete collection is approximately twice the size of the 66 canonical books present in most Bibles. Additional fragments, writings, charts, and maps are included in an appendix section.
- Includes the Catholic and Orthodox Deuterocanon material, all three of the books of Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees, the Aramaic Book of Giants, the testaments, apocalypses, pseudepigrapha, New Testament-era works, the Apostolic Fathers, and more.
- Utilization of the transliterated Tetragrammaton in the Old Testament. All uppercase LORD is used in the New Testament and Apocrypha when a reference to YHWH is likely.

Below you can see a comparison of The 120-Book Holy Bible and Apocrypha Collection with the Protocanon (66 books, consisting of the Tanakh/Old Testament and the New Testament), the Catholic Bible (73 books), the Orthodox Bible (76–78 books), the Ethiopian Bible (81 books), and the Cepher (87 books, although it has the additions to Daniel and the Epistle of Jeremiah as separate books, so it is closer to 83 books).
Notes:
1, 2, 3 The Ethiopic Bible of the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Churches contains roughly 81 books, although how these books are arranged and divided between narrower and broader canons is disputed. The Ethiopic Bible lacks 1–4 Maccabees, but has an alternative account of the Maccabees unique to the Ethiopian tradition called Meqabyan, in three books.
4, 5 The Ethiopic Bible contains an Ethiopic Clement that differs significantly from the more widely known 1 and 2 Clement (written in Greek).
6, 7 The Eastern Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox Bibles contain Psalm 151, but lack Psalms 152–155.
