Tsk. This, as a Midwesterner, I can't let slip by. (Yes, I'm from
Minnesota, and tell Iowa jokes like any other Minnesotan, but it's
still biased.) Iowa's churches are primarily mainline Protestant.
It may be that there are more AVs in Iowa than any other version --
but the *combined* numbers of modern versions will vastly outnumber
copies of the AV.

If I were to point to a particular place as the hotbed of KJVs,
it seems to me that the (conservative, Baptist, rural) southern
Appalachians would be the logical place.

And, yes, I know this isn't really relevant to anything we're
talking about. :-)
