Beautiful Bible in all ways but there is one thing to be aware of. Cambridge resets page numbers for the New Testament back to page 1. The effect is that the page numbers for the Pitt Minion and Aquila wide margin do NOT line up properly.
I emailed Cambridge and the reason they do this (as well as in the KJV and some others) is because in some of these books they insert the Apocrypha – so if they didn’t start from page 1 they would need 2 sets of New Testaments with different page numberings.
It’s really disappointing because you can no longer expect to pick up a page number from one book to the other if you use these bibles as they’re intended.
If you only need one Bible and love the midsize, this is the one to get. If you’re looking for a mate to a smaller Bible, you may want to look at Schuyler’s Quentel and PSQ instead.

I agree completely with Tim’s review. I have been using the Pitt-Minion this past year. It’s great but a bit small for everyday. This edition is a work of art. The paper has a lovely cream/off-white hue; the size is just right and the calf skin is like butter. Buying from Evangelicalbible can’t be beat.

Cambridge produces exceptional Bibles and this one is an instant classic! The calfskin leather is soft and supple. The paper is opaque with a readable font. The perfect medium size Bible for everyday use. It also comes with 3 double satin ribbons. These are definitely an upgrade from from Cambridge ribbons in years past. It is perfect Bible to pair with my Pitt Minion and Wide Margin as all three share the same text layout. What the Concord is to the KJV line by Cambridge, the new Diadem is to the the ESV line. Highly recommend this Bible and I highly recommend Evangelicalbible.com to purchase it from as their service is second to none.
