]           Another good possibility is an annotated Bible, such as
]Oxford Annotated Bible, with Apocrypha 

I believe it is also available as just the Apocrypha without the
rest of the Bible, at least it was a few years ago when I bought
mine.  Title:  *The Oxford Annotated Apocrypha*.

Take your pick.

A good book on this entire subject, which is conservative is " A General
Introduction to the Bible" by Geilser and Nix.  This is a college level
text book, but deals with the canon of scripture, inerrancym and other
subject that come up in this group.  It's relatively expensive ($29.00)
and is not light reading, but it is a worthwhile addition to any
Christians library.
