Corey Mihailiuk –
I think it’s worth chiming in with my thoughts on this bible. Today my Schuyler Quentel NKJV black goatskin bible was delivered by Fedex. It arrived in perfect condition and was well packed with some bubble pack for the journey.
It comes in a nice clam shell style box that will help to keep it protected. The goatskin cover is of a very high quality and is very supple, maybe too supple for some, but I enjoy that degree of flexibility. Personally I wasn’t won over by the dark red backing on the inside. Too much for me but a very minor issue.
I like the layout and the font size is ample for those who struggle with smaller type sizes. The printing work from Royal Jongbloed in the Netherlands is fantastic, and likely the best currently available. But the paper thickness is a deal breaker for me. I was nervous that I would find 23gsm paper too thin and delicate and that was my immediate conclusion. It has nothing to do with the opacity and everything to do with how delicate it feels when turning pages. In my humble opinion this is not “bible paper”. Bibles ( especially expensive premium ones) should last a life time and you shouldn’t have to wonder with every page turn if you are going to tear the page. That’s how I feel when going through this bible. And I should say as a collector of antiquarian books, I am very careful when handling books. I recently purchased an Allan ESV New Classic Readers Edition and it was also printed by Jongbloed but with PrimaBible 36 gsm paper and that paper definitely was more confidence inspiring but yet not exactly what I would call heavy enough.
So my only real disappointment with this incredibly beautiful and meticulously made Schuyler bible is the paper weight. I would highly recommend an upgrade to at very least the PrimaBible 36 gsm paper.
I will search for another NKJV with more robust paper and will likely gift this lovely bible to someone who will appreciate it.

Just received a full size NKJV in black goatskin, to supplement a purple PSQ NKJV I have. I can’t say enough about these Bibles! It seems each iteration gets better! I had a green goatskin NKJV which I sold a few years ago, and loved it. The black goatskin on this one is a matte type and is just so supple and seems even better in construction. This will be my at home Bible, while the other will be my travel Bible. I enjoy the other major publishers out there but these just seems in a class by themselves, combining all the best of those publishers, and yet going beyond them. Great stuff!!

Very beautiful quality bible!I like the font just right since I don’t want to strain my eyes reading small letters. I like that it is not too big to carry around. I feel so privileged to be able to afford this bible. This is my 2nd Schuyler bible. I have the canterbury wide margin KJV but NKJV is my favorite. I look forward to a Schuyler wide margin NKJV bible.

Worth every penny. By far the best Bible I’ve owned, and I’ve had others near or over $200.
The paper is solid, format and type is readable, and the binding and cover are solid. I’m a missionary in Nigeria, so I preach outdoors and in rugged conditions. This is a lasting investment of great quality. I will order, hopefully when I return to visit the US, a different version. I hope they have Holman, Berean, or perhaps I’ll go ESV.
Thank u for this solid piece of craftsmanship. The paper!

I have the credo version of this Bible. This black goatskin is unlike any other I have seen very supple the black is a very deep rich black (I don’t really know how to describe it). The combination of black and red is stunning even better in your hand then in the pictures. The red under gold art gilt is deep and frames the text very nicely. I love the red head and tail bands. And of course the milo font is incredibly readable! I have a number of NKJV Quentel’s now because, it is my life long Bible. Thanks EV bible for doing such an amazing job and for being so consistently excellent!

The paper is just too thin for me, not because of ghosting, but because it is so delicate feeling. I have to be very careful not to crease the paper, which I have done a lot. I love everything else about this bible, but the paper is a deal breaker for me.

If the next pressing of this bible in 2021 was printed in bold milo font that would be great. Uniformity is very important and when there are variations in the shades of the font it is not only distracting but difficult to read when only some of the red letter pages are double printed and the rest is not. Thomas Nelson has mastered the art of uniformity with comfort print and their bibles are made in China. Schuyler bibles goatskin cover is better than Thomas Nelson and the calfskin in older editions. Please do not cheapen the product in the future by cutting corners. Thicker paper is always a plus and if there are issues with a purchase the customers should not be hit with restocking fees. A higher price paid calls for a superior product with superior service.

I have never had the privilege of owning a “premium” bible before, but this is even better than I imagined the quality would/could be! The text is simply amazing to read. So easy on the eyes, it’s just a beautiful thing to behold.
Just the most wonderful way possible to display the Word of God!
Thank you Schuyler and EVBIBLE.COM!

I ordered a Schuyler Quentel black goatskin red letter and a Schuyler canterburry black goatskin. Both bibles are amazing in quality and build. What impressed me the most was EVBIBLE.COM’s customer service. I ordered on a Tuesday and received them on Friday. Both bibles were imprinted and they still got them to me in 4 days. I had several emails telling every step of the process. By far the best customer service i have ever had the privilege dealing with. The Quentel was for myself and I have to say I absolutely love this bible. The Canturberry was for my dad as a early Christmas present. He has been a preacher for 20 years and never had a premium bible. He is ecstatic about this bible. Both the Canterbury and the Quentel are excellent bibles. You can’t go wrong either bible. Thanks EVBIBLE.COM. You guys are awsome.

I have purchased many bibles for people from EB, and to me this red letter NKJV is still the best!!! There is no better bible on the planet (for me at least). I am a fan of red letter. I’m not following the trend of black letter, or no tabs. To me it’s all preference. If EB made a red letter NASB, just like this one, well, that would be in 1st place in my library. Instead my NASB 1st edition is tied with this NKJV. Thank you again EB!!!!

I purchased the NKJV Black, Red letter about two months ago, and am very delighted with it. Its slightly bigger than the canterbury, which I received as a birthday present a little before this one, but is a nice firm, well made Bible. The font is very attractive to the eyes, good size( not too big or too small) and the goatskin feels great in your hands. I read it frequently, along with tha NASB, ESV and KJV, I like all these versions. If your an NKJV admirer, and want an attractive, well made Bible which will last probably a lifetime, I very highly recommend a Schuyler. Thank Evangelical Bible and Schuyler for this very fine Bible.

I purchased the Schuyler NKJV Quentel bible for one of my daily readers, although I prefer the Cambridge Interlinear and the ASV for serious bible study, I like to have a modern version to consult for those instances where I need clarification from the text. This bible is like the other Schuyler Quentels absolutely a work of art. The goatskin is second to none, more supple that the Nigerian goatskin that Cambridge uses. I wish that Schuyler would however consider making the covers with full yapps to protect the beautiful art gilding. The print size is perfect, and I love the cross references and chapter headings being in red. I do wish they would go ahead and make the concordance type size the same as the text. I realize it may be a fraction of an inch thicker, but it would be more usable without the aid of magnification. But all in all, a beautiful vessel for God’s Word.

After 15 years, my $20 bible finally fell completely apart. I decided to just spend the money and get a quality bible that I would never have to replace and could pass on to one of my boys. After months of research and multiple emails to evangelicalbible, I finally decided on the Quentel NKJV. My only concern was that it would be too big. It is a large bible but the design, page layout and quality completely outweigh the size. I am 100% satisfied and look forward to it lasting a life time. Once Schuyler makes a personal size Quentel (KJV or NKJV) I will buy that one to pass down to my other son.

I received the Quentel NKJV in Black the other day. I am pleased with the many features…..and all are as advertised by Schuyler in the product specifications. I purchased the same bible in Dark Brown last summer. It has green, plum, and gold ribbons…very aesthetic with the Dark Brown Goatskin cover. I give the Dark Brown Goatskin a 5 STAR +. The only minor cosmetic change I would suggest on the Quentel NKJV Black is to have blue, red, and gold ribbons…..resulting in a similar like and kind aesthetic appearance as the three different colors on the Dark Brown version. As a result, I give the Black Goatskin a 5 STAR ( no + ). This is a high quality bible that is designed to be passed down to younger generations. I have no children. However, I have two nephews and one niece. Looks like I will need to purchase another Quentel NKJV in Dark Green for my niece.

Wow! This Bible is awesome, just perfect! I didn’t realise that when I ordered it. Everything looks great, the clear font, the two colors for text and numbers of chapters. And the leather, so soft. Also the Quentel design is very useful for easy reading. Its my favorite Schuyler Bible so far. Thanks Alain Baer

I just received my NKJV Schuyler Quentel and it is truly amazing! Finally a class NKJV. Everything about this Bible is great. I believe this is the best Schuyler has put out to date. The font size is clear and excellent to read. The format is wonderful. The binding is truly a work of art. No other NKJV on the market can touch this. Thank you for FINALLY producing this NKJV. I’ve waited a long time and I am not disappointed! Jon Seip
