Just received my Stridon today. Excellent Bible. The previous reviews have it covered. 10 out of 10. The ribbons and liner colors work so well with the Desert Camel cover. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a Bible.

My Schuyler Stridon just arrived. It does not disappoint. It’s amazing. The previous reviews said it all. Can only add I am soooo pleased I managed to get one.

Absolutely stunning! Dessert Camel is such a lovely, unique colorway. The leather is supple and rich while the deep wine ribbons accent it perfectly. The red under gold gilding is a seamless part of the harmony of color. This is a beautiful Bible with top quality construction. You will be able to read, study and enjoy this Bible for a lifetime. The text block is likewise near perfection. The single column verse by verse layout is easy to read, easy to find your place, a comfortable size font (10) that should be easy for most aging eyes, black letter text with red for verse and chapter numbers. Everything about the text of this Bible seems to make your reading and study easier. The full yapp is luxurious to hold and protects the page edges. I love this Bible! So, why only 4 stars? There are three things that I would like to see changed in this Bible. First, I am saddened to see the Jerusalem Cross on the cover centred to the edge of the yapp, rather than the tool line. That makes it look off centre to the eye and just negatively impacts the otherwise beautiful appearance of this premium Bible. It is a small detail, but with a premium Bible, such details are expected to be addressed, IMO. Second, I would prefer a more opaque paper, even if the Bible had to be a little thicker in order to achieve that. And, finally, I wish that the references and notes were positioned in the gutter near the appropriate verses. Again a small detail that I admit is a personal preference for layout. Overall, these are nitpicky issues and do not impact my recommendation for anyone to purchase this gorgeous production of the Word of God. If you are in the market for a Bible that is durable to stand the test of time, laid out in a manner that will facilitate your study in God’s Word and that will draw you into a desire to spend time in its pages, this ESV Bible is clearly a great choice.

The desert camel calfskin cover option for the ESV Stridon managed to sell out within a week of the books release. Hopefully they have more on backorder so other folks can experience this unique leather. The best part of the book is the text block. I am a children’s pastor and like to use both the ESV and NLT when I teach kids and youth. This Sunday used the Stridon for a message and was able to locate passages instantly. The verse by verse layout is great, and love that the verse numbers are in red. The Stridon is a great design for anyone doing Bible teaching and also for long reading sessions.

This was love at first sight!
The leather is very grainy and has a natural marbled look. It is also very supple.
The binding was done perfectly on my edition. It lays so flat I sent a message to EV bible just to make sure this was bound by Jongbloed.
The color scheme is stunning.
The layout gives you the feel of a readers but, with the ease of navigation a verse-by-verse layout provides. Whoever made the decision to highlight the verses in red and make the Bible black letter instead of red letter is a genius and probably deserves a promotion.
The paper feels like silk it’s so smooth and the line matching is perfectly executed.
This Bible has a next level feel to it.
I cannot recommend this edition more if I could give it 6 stars I would!
I have decided to make this my main Bible because I don’t want to put it down.
God bless you EV for making my dream Bible!

Absolutely gorgeous! I have a Treveris (which I love), I wanted a legit line by line and not just a reader, however, that was not available in ESV until now! While I love the Treveris the Stridon surpasses it in versatility, size, and format. While the two Bibles fulfill different purposes, those familiar with the Terveris, I believe, will enjoy the transition to the Stridon. The only thing I would have liked to be included on the Stridon is the ornamental drop caps, but this is a minor personal preference that many people will not miss. The Stridon would be a great preaching and teaching Bible but will make for an excellent reader and or daily devotional Bible. Very, very happy! Very, very worth it!
