Ihave the New King James in 20 volumes on my living room shelves. It was donated to my regional library so I put in for it. Someone was ahead of me, and they said they couldn’t take it, so they loaded it onto my bus home from a meeting. I don’t think my driver was too thrilled, but it was kind of cool coming home with the Word!
