Does anybody know where one could buy the 1610 DRV bible in hardback?

Short of printing and binding it myself I've been unable to find a hardback print of the DR 1610, with all annotations, except for on amazon who I will not buy from. If anybody knows of a place that sells them, or can offer advice on how to have it printed so that I can bind it, I would be very grateful.

This is the exact text that I am looking for.

Good tidings and God bless.

Looks like some print on Demand options over at Abe. And maybe some originals, you'll have to do some research into the more expensive options: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?kn=1610%20douay%20rheims&sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-topnav-_-Results&ds=20

Thanks, I searched for an hour or two and couldn't find much.

Unfortunately the hard covers are expensive, except for that $100 one but I'd have to do some research to ensure it is truly a copy of the original text. I'm tempted to print, bind and sell copies but it never felt right selling His Word or icons.

This guy has what I think you are looking for? It is pricey. But, then again the market is very niche. ETA: It looks like you can buy the volumes individually, as well.

That looks to be exactly what I'm looking for!

The price isn't completely horrible, though yes, a little steep. Thanks!

I have that. The print is good and its better than other similar products. There's five volumes and their site has plenty of info, so if it seems good, maybe start with one of them. I started with one, then a second, and then got the rest. I like the footnotes. The standard Douay-Rheims Challoner version had few to none of them and only with Fr Haydock were there notes in that spirit.
