Difference in Editions

The main difference between the 1^st and 2^nd Edition Cephers was primarily cosmetic as there were no substantive changes to the text at that point. Beginning with the 3^rd Edition, the width of the book was reduced from 3 inches to 2 inches, and the weight was reduced from nearly 6 pounds to under 4.5 pounds.  These reductions were accomplished by printing on a lighter weight paper.

The main differences between the 2^nd Edition and the 3^rd Edition are highlighted in the product description below:

Early in 2021, we introduced the Millennium Edition text in a limited print Collector’s version of only 500 copies measuring 9"x12"x3" and weighing 8.5 lbs - which is the size of a pulpit bible or coffee table book.  In December 2021, we released the Millennium Edition text in our standard 7”x10”x2” format, and subsequently released it in a 14 point font Large Print version in 2022.  While printed on thinner paper that book is necessarily larger and heavier than our standard version, measuring 7"x10"2.75" and weighing 5.7 lbs.
