This is an initial impressions review. First of all, the boxing could’ve been a little better. I paid over 200 for this bible (over 220 with tax) so I was expecting the boxing to be a little better. It was packaged in plastic wrapping (the fedex packaging) with bubble wrap. The Bible moved around in shipping and as a result the gilding took a hit. It is a good size hit, but not enough for me to return it. Also the gilt line was done part on the cover and part on the liner. Strange considering I’ve had Nelson’s that did better than this on the gilt line.
The Bible itself is gorgeous though. The slate goatskin is soft, but firm enough to not be overly floppy. The liner is a bright red and matches the ribbons and gilding. Gilding is flawless (except for the scratch) a beautiful red under silver. It is red not pink which is my preference. The print is 11 point, but reads like an 11 point. There is more ghosting than what I expected, but it is VERY readable. The contrast of the red and black is perfect. Verse numbers, chapters and references are in red. Subheadings at the top of the page and page numbers are in red. The text is bold and dark and crisp. An initial overview revealed a consistent print throughout.
The maps are incredible. The concordance is small print. I can read it, but it is small.
Overall the positives outweigh the negatives. I do love this Bible but am a little disappointed that the gilding took a hit in shipping.

I wanted to wait a while before posting this review to make sure my feelings did not change, and they have not. This is the best premium Bible on the market. I love the 28 gsm paper and with use it is no problem to turn and makes the Bible handle so much better over the 36 gsm version. Love the red letter. It’s everything I’ve been waiting for. The silver gilt line on the interior is not perfect, but close. I also bought it in the full yapp edition.

A reverent work of art. I cannot express in words, what a beautifully crafted bible the Schuyler truly is. The legibility is remarkable and remains the epitome of the Bible craftsmans art. It is simply stunning. Evangelical Bible was kind and patient in taking the time to guide me in selecting a most beautiful example of Gods word. I am so grateful.

This Bible is PERFECTION. The way the color scheme plays off each other – The grayish leather, against the red under silver art gilt, the brick red liner and ribbon colors, just WOW, magnificent. EVB’s customer service was top notch as usual and this is now my #1 favorite Bible of all time. Amazing!
