Detailed Review:
This is an amazing bible with very few flaws.
Pros:
LAY FLAT – The way this bible lays flat is simply amazing.
FONT SIZE – The font size is fairly large and easy to read.
FULL YAPP – Never owned a full yapp bible before but for now on, it’s full yapp or nothing! The full yapp makes the reading experience much nicer, protecting the bible and creating a pleasant frame that is hard to describe but it’s simply amazing.
ART-GILT EDGING – The blue edging is very easy on the eyes much better than a standard red.
GOATSKIN – The goatskin cover is of high quality.
SPINE – The spine of the bible is extremely elegant.
LINE MATCHING – There is little to no bleed through. I am not a fan of double column bibles, I prefer single column, but this bible is the exception. Amazing!!
SHIPPING – The bible shipped fairly fast in less than a week.
Cons:
RIBBONS – I wish this bible had different colored ribbons. The ribbons are high quality, however, having ribbons of the same color makes it hard to remember which ribbon is for what. A premium NJKV bible I own has a red and a black ribbon. Offering something similar in the future would be great.
PAPER – The paper stock is definitely a higher quality than most other bibles, however it still feels very thin. If not careful, I feel like the pages might tear.
COLOR – It is advertised as Imperial Blue. In person it is a very dark blue, almost black. It still looks amazing but I really wouldn’t call it a blue.
Conclusion:
Overall, this bible is great. I wish the paper stock was a bit thicker and the blue was a bit more blue and not so dark, but, having said that, this is easily the best bible I’ve ever owned.
