Most modern Bibles have the copyright and/or the printing date on one of the first pages, usually following the title page, preceding the introduction- if there is one, and contents page. Sometimes it may appear at the bottom of the title page. Commonly, older Bibles did not always include a printing date and other means have to be used to pinpoint the date.
To date there have been approximately 6,001,500,000 bibles printed. The bible is one of the most shoplifted books in the world, as well as being one of the most read and studied.
This date varies a lot according to language and version of the Bible; from about 1450 when the first printing press was invented, right up to the present day where new Bibles and new versions are being printed.
