Does anyone know where I can purchase a copy of the Textus Receptus?

You can download (http://www.afii.org/grtrkjv.html) it, Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0967756502/qid=1082670834/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-5328967-7720658?v=glance&s=books) has a copy, but they're $187 (is that a lot?) otherwise a specialist bookseller, such as a KJV-only bookshop will sell them (I know, because I got one from one of them).

Hi, I was just trawling the net and came across your e-mail request for a T.R. copy. As an aficionado of the T.R. and its study, I thought I might offer some suggestions.
Are you aware that there is more than one edition currently and easily available? Firstly, only available as the Greek text is the edition printed and published by the Trinitarian Bible Society, UK. This is the Scrivener edition, first published about 1885, and is the latest edition in a long line of that text. You should be able to pick up one of these quite readily either from your local Christian Bookshop or direct from the local supplier of the T.B.S. Bibles.
A second edition is The Interlinear Literal Translation of the Greek New Testament, by George Ricker Berry (Zondervan, 1976) — This includes the King James Version English text interlinear with the Stephanus 1550 Greek text, also known as the Textus Receptus. This is essentially represents the Greek text from which the King James Version was translated. [This volume was originally published by Samuel Bagster, London, c 1890, as The Englishman's Greek New Testament.]
I do not know American prices, but I would have thought you could pick one up much cheaper that $187 quoted above. They retail over here for about £20 to £30 each.
Hoping that this may further your quest for a T.R. text.
Wykliff.

Thank you, Wykliff.

Saw The Interlinear Literal Translation of the Greek New Testament, by George Ricker Berry (Zondervan, 1976) in a Christian bookstore.  The print is too small, and the paper quality is not that good.

I did manage to buy The Interlinear Greek-English New Testament:  Third Edition (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0801021383/qid=1086226313/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-2401527-7336920?v=glance&s=books) by Jay P. Green.  The printing is a bit bigger than berry's and the paper quality is better too.
