Do all Douay-Rheims include the Apocrypha? I assume so, but I'm having a hard time verifying it. This is the best edition I've found so far, and the only Pocket/bonded leather edition of a Bible that includes the Apocrypha I've found thus far.

I've now come to the conclusion that my best bet is to shop for a Douay-Rheims.
I've found another edition from a vendor supposedly by "Baronius Books Limited" Although the Baronius publishing website doesn't show this product, oddly. Supposedly made in 2005, it is
6 1/4" (15.8 cm) x 4 1/4" (10.7 cm) x 1 1/2" (3.81 cm).
So approximately the same size as the previous Baronius product posted, maybe these are just more accurate measurements of that product. Its a bit big for a "Pocket" edition, but likely as good as I'm going to get.
Once again, I found the same Bible, although this waxes almost ecstatic on the glory of this edition hehehe, it offers a bit more information about the binding and materials used etc. Douay Rheims Bible pocket size
To summarize this vendor, plus the publisher (so a total of three) all sell the Douay-Rheims Bible, bonded leather, "flexible cover" in a 6.75" x 4.25" x 1.25" edition
For what it's worth, I've had good luck ordering from Aquinas and More in the past. But of course, do your comparison shopping!
Thanks, I'm a little unsure. I've ruled out PCP books as having significantly more expensive shipping. So between Baronius and Aquinas and More, Baronius has cheaper shipping, barely. I'm leaning Aquinas because I'm a little suspicious that buying through Baronius may be considered a foreign transaction, even though they have a U.S. warehouse, and get me the lovely "Foreign Transaction Fee" on my card.
Just keep in mind that the KJV and DR have different textual sources. The DR is based on the Latin Vulgate while the KJV (except for the last page of Revelation and some other oddities) is based on Greek and Hebrew manuscripts.
