I own both. Love both. Goatskin worth it. But they are both fantastic! The Cambridge Concord is in my opinion the BEST Bible out there. LOVE the old school type set. “Old world” feel! LOVE IT!
Great Bibles. Thanks God bless. Your enthusiasm is much appreciated. Bill. Uk
Good morning Mark, I have just moved back to the UK from the US. I purchased the Concord Calf Split, and really like the quality of the product mine was $180 US.
Concorde was my first Bible when I took one to church and that was in around 1970 but I probably got the Bible in 1969 and I still have it although it's a bit worn out I did get a new one from Amazon just to have a new one on hand but it is probably the best Bible I've ever had maybe the best Bible ever will have I wish it was a little bigger print but I still can read it because of the way Cambridge does the boldness and the Darkness of their print.
The Concord is such a nice text block. Good video as always. You’re doing such a great job. Glad the UK has your shop as a source for Bibles.
It sure is sister! Thanks for your continued support and encouragement. I will be doing a vlog soon looking at some interesting stats showing where we are at in terms of the channel at the moment! God bless
Burton Bibles that will be fun to see. I like when they send the stats emails, they’re fun to see how many likes, shares, comments etc there have been.
Don’t think I get email stats? 😊
Burton Bibles I get one once a month but now that I think about it I don’t think I got them until I reached 1,000 subs. Maybe that is one of their neat features that gets unlocked at that point..? Not sure but I like them!
Weirdly I have just had one through this morning! I’m sure I’ve never seen one of them before! Very cool though!
I have a personal size concord from CBP in the ironed calfskin and it really is a terrific bible structure! Really enjoy it very much. It’s just too darn small for my 50+ yr old eyes! Paid a whopping $35 for it from CBP website. They are discontinuing it, so if you want one.......would love to have this in a larger 10/11 point.
I have had both, got to say I prefer the goatskin. But you could not go wrong with either.
I went for two in calf split, one thumb indexed and one regular. Really happy, just have a problem reading the references with my middleaged eyes.
I live in England UK and just gone partially blind in one eye due to a blocked artery, I just sent off and got from Amazon a smaller version of the cambridge Concord reference bible , I can actually read it better than larger fonts as the text is thicker but about 6 to 7 point . When the text words are larger the clouding on the top right of my left eye makes me have to close it and just read with my right eye .
love his bible, I have the calfskin and its soften up very nice, and I use it a lot and the binding is still in great condition, I wouldn't have a problem buying one of there calfskins bibles again
Amen sister!
Hi Mark, I have the Wide margin and found that the font is .05 smaller than the standard Concord.
Great! I got my two...Actually Calf Split is my favorite...
Yes I like the calf split as well! Certain editions feel better with the calf split! God bless

@@BurtonBibles I even bought the Calf Split in the Topaz also....Also in all my Clarions. I am a Cambridge fan. But NOTHING is as perfect as the Concord. How i wish they would do the NKJV/ESV/NASB in the Concord Size - the Perfect size...
@@rpricci1 well the new Diadem will be pretty much Concord size and will be done in ESV first… coming soon!
I wish they had done the Concord widemargin in a 10 pt font. I am finding that I can not read it for very long as my eyes hurt.
Wonderful review! As always. Is the paper the same in both editions ?
Yes, looks like it to me!
I wish the Goatskin had indexing option as well
Sadly not!
If I can get it I prefer a good calfskin or good calf split to the floppy part of the goatskin. But some people only sell the goatskin people like evengelical Bible here in the United States because they sell more of those and can make more money at twice the price Amazon however and I guess Burton Bibles does to have various assortment of different types of covers which can save a lot of money I think.
Yes I sell every binding type. 👍
I am very taken with the goatskin but really like the full leather lining & spine ribs of the Turquoise, do think or know if Cambridge will be producing or upgrading any future Bibles with these features?
It is a slim possibility. I believe they are releasing a new reference Bible in the near future. God bless!
@@BurtonBibles Thank you for the prompt reply, glad I asked now, will wait to see any new releases. The Turquoise is an amazing Bible, but it's size and font are a little too big.
Do the turquoise Bible and the Cambridge large print Bible have the sewn down front piece or is it also just pasted in might come loose in a few years?
Not sure what you mean by sewn down front piece but I can testify to Cambridge build quality. I’ve never had any of their Bibles fall apart on my within a few years!
One hand test - does each bible stay readable or does the goatskin flop too much and require 2 hands?
Pitty they couldn't make a Concord in a 10 or 11 point font....it could fairly then beat the Turquoise
Sadly not, if Cambridge did every connotation though they would have a Bible range with about 100 Bibles 😂
I have the Goatskin Concord and really love the beautiful bold print throughout. The only thing that’s a downer is that there’s no references within the text which is really disappointing.
There’s none in the text, but there is a full suite of references in the centre column! Do you prefer them in the text?
Burton Bibles i have always preferred to see them within the text. Not having them there kinda throws me off.
It’s a beautiful bible though and the perfect size. Just a pity about the references.
Fair enough! My favourite the Cameo has in-text references so I know what you mean. However, I do find this is nice and clear without the tiny letters. God bless!

How does the font size of this Bible compare with the Cambridge large print Bible and also with the Cambridge turquoise Bible?
Thanks.
It’s noticeably smaller and less bold. Hope that helps
Is there paper differences between these 2 edition of goatskin and calfsplit ? Thanks
Having had both to compare I did not notice a difference. Having said that I believe there was a very slight difference in the Clarion editions. Not sure that helps sorry!
I have a Concord in black Goatskin which is GORGEOUS. I do however prefer a stiffer cover like the French Morocco for when I’m laying in bed reading. Trying to find a Concord in French Morocco is so far impossible. Is the calf split stiffer than the Goatskin? How is it compared to the French Morocco?
Hi yes the calf split is stiffer and is an excellent cover. I prefer it to FM. 👍
Try the calf split concord. Better than French Morocco.
@@gleasonparker1684 I actually got the calf split and love it 🙂
Natural question to me: how long would I plan to use the Bible I purchase? Do I replace it every year? I have a Thompson chain reference that I bought in the 1970s in college that I still use, even though I had to save up for it And sacrifice at the time. Its cost over all of these decades has been almost Nothing. If you amortize the cost of either of these Bibles over the number of years, they should be able to serve, the actual difference in cost should be extremely small. Best wishes from Texas.
Is the Concord print different than the Cameo print?
It is slightly larger.
Goatskin if and when you can afford it.
Amen!
PS: I would rather have my fingernails pulled out with pliers rather than having to use thumb indexing in my Bibles.
