From a somewhat opinionated guide to catholic bibles
Helpful hint: If it doesn’t contain a book called “Tobit”, it’s not a Catholic Bible.
Amazon does sell " The King James Bible for Catholics", but it’s a two volume set and it was published 19th September 2020,

He could have just made an old fashioned grade school book cover out of an old brown paper grocery bag, scrawled “Bible” on it in crayon & put in over his signed copy of JK Rowling’s Cormoran Strike book.

If I ever ever have to take an oath like that, I’m going to wrap my iPad like that and pull up a pdf of the D&D Monster Manual.

My personal favorite Oath of Office:
ETA, for those who don’t click through to read the whole thing:
Ellison went on to use the English translation of a Qur’an owned by Thomas Jefferson, George Sale’s Alcoran of Mohammed, for the swearing-in ceremony.

I’m sitting here surrounded by hundreds of books, not sure which of them I would choose for a swearing-in ceremony. So many of them are applicable: Practical Cryptography, Design Patterns, The Anarchist’s Cookbook, or maybe The Lord of the Rings boxed set.
Probably the best choice would be Peanuts Treasury. I learned more ethics lessons from the Peanuts cartoons of my youth than any religious texts, and I hold them in much higher esteem.
