After years of enviously watching all the Longprimer videos on this channel I finally took the plunge and ordered a black 53C SPC!
Let’s go!!!
This is the one I have in Brown. I just love it!!!
Just beautiful! Great review! ❤️
Great review! I’m glad the SPC is still available.
Get one quick before they sell out!
Your review prompted me to look into this Bible. Long story short… RL Allen had exactly one copy available at a discounted price - Navy Blue, just like yours, but w/red under gold. I’m excited and this will be my first RL Allen.
Awesome!!!
How are you finding it?
Great review thanks Tim. Always enjoy your videos, please keep them coming! I have the Black speckled version on it's way.
Thanks, Philip. You're welcome! More on the way... and some fun giveaways planned as well!
Think about it like this guys. They only made about 100 of these for each color variation. So in other words, you’d be 1 of 100 on the planet (7 billion population ) with an Allan 53 that’s speckled. That in and of itself makes the 300$ price tag worth it!
This Bible is just amazing... 📖👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🏽
Still one of my favorites.
I really enjoy this layout. I wish I could get a NASB2020 or NIV in a format exactly like this Longprimer. Love the helps and classic font, the goatskin, and yapp. As a pastor, this would be a terrific format from which to preach. Though again, in a different translation. Still, if you're going to get a KJV. this one is hard to beat! Great review.
Thanks for watching! I agree... it would be nice to have this one in other translations.
The KJV is the perfect word of God.
I have an Allan brown longprimer and it is a very clear reading text.
Yes, a great Bible to read.
KJV is strongest "numerically "
I have a 53C NB, not the speckled one, and also an older 53. I go back and forth as to which one I prefer. I love the cyclopedic concordance, I was so excited when RL Allan put out a Longprimer with one, since I loved the one in my Brevier Clarendon, but some days I think I like the references in the plain 53 better - I can find things faster and they don't take up as much space. In the past, Oxford published a Longprimer of the "S. S. Teacher's Edition", which had basically the same features as the Brevier Clarendon, with chapter summaries and words italicized that were inserted by the translators. If Allan ever published one of those, I'd probably have to buy another KJV from them.
Greta review as always, Mr. Wildsmith! I love how they changed a bit of the style to add some sort of flair with the speckled page edges.
This Oxford Longprimer will always be iconic to the premium Bible world. I really hope they would keep on doing this Bible style for the generations to come.
And may I ask, do you happen to know the font style they used here? It seems really aesthetically pleasing to read through.
Keep on doing these great reviews, sir! Your walk-through, video quality, and editing are excellently done. God bless you!
Thank you for the kind words, Nikko! I read somewhere that the font was a custom typesetting from the 1950s, but I'm not quite sure since Allan's website does not give specifics. I agree with you, though, it is quite pleasing.
Tim Wildsmith The Bible is named after the font style “Longprimer” 😉 I have owned a few of these I got my info from an old post on the R.L. Allan Facebook page several years ago....another Bible enthusiast asked Allan the same question.
@@joelfields9807 Thanks, Joel!
Thanks!
You bet!
Someday brother you will be one of the best bible reviewers. I know you will but just a reminder to always give all the glory and honor to our LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Thank you!
The oldest version I have seen with a Cyclopedic concordance dated back to 1901. Is a Oxford Self-Pronouncing Bible, S.S. Teacher's edition.
I know it’s too late, but I WANT THIS BIBLE!
It’s a great one!!
Very, Very nice!
MAN!!!!!
Love it!!
Gorgeous Bible. I have a couple premiums but don't actually have a Longprimer yet, so I think that's my next one up. I would prefer blue or green, and I definitely want the cyclopedic concordance. The one in this video essentially is perfect. Unfortunately, it's sold out and beyond that, I literally cannot seem to find a single 53C of any color for sale online whatsoever. Have to be patient I guess?
I really want to get an Allen bible. But they dont really have what im looking for. My favorite one, is my Nelson thinline kjv with goatskin. 36gsm paper on a thinline. The Allens are beautifully crafted. I may get one eventually, but im on the fence about it.
Ordered it!
(W/O the encyclopedia concordance)
Nice!
That’s wild for the very conservative Allan 🎉
I just got this bible in black highland Goatskin.. it’s just perfect.
I sure hope you do this one again.
It’s a beauty!
@@timwildsmith Sooooooo……
How much?!😬
In other words, are you selling it?
(I think I already know the answer)
Tim, really enjoyed the review. I have just received my 53 and noticed on John chapter 3 the heading appears to be wrong. The heading for John 3 says Christ purgeth the temple. John 3 has nothing to do with that. Does your have the same heading? Just trying to figure out if I have a misprint.
Thanks.
It's not a misprint. Mine says the same. These are vintage Oxford typesettings, so it's probably just a case that the heading from Chapter 2 has been on that page since back then.
Thanks-little disheartened by that. I also have a Cambridge Concord, also a vintage typeset, but to my knowledge, no issues like this.
I am having a hard time picking between black or brown leather. Any opinions on the blue
I have an Allan in all three of those colors, and they’re all lovely.
Beautiful Bible! You say you splurged…how much was it, if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks!
These went for around $300.
I have this same exact Bible 53c first edition. Never used, ribbons have never been removed. Thinking about selling it. I really like the Cambridge wide margin NIV. What do you feel a fair asking price would be? Any info is greatly appreciated. God Bless.
My 53c just has red art guiding
He Tim! I think I've seen them going for between $350-400 in the FB groups. You might want to do some searches on there to see what the latest prices have been.
Purchased on of the bibles about 6 weeks ago. A lttle disappointed. I own 5 other Allans and they have all been quality bibles. This is the first one that had a couple of issues. I actually had to shave the spine of the goatskin . They were a lot of hair bristles still sticking out of the leather. The other issue is where the edge of the leather was folded over and glued. They missed a 1 inch portion right by one of the corners. Am going to go to a crafts shop and try and find some quality glue to finish the section that Allan failed to complete. Just a little disappointed with Allan. They can do better.
Now £205,- I paid end of May
Expensive... but incredible.
Is this a red letter Bible? If not, do you know if Allan has red letter bibles?
This one is not. They do make some… it just depends on the text block.
I would buy that Bible if it was available.
It’s a lovely Bible!
Me too
If Charfleet can produce this regularly, there'll be a lot of happy campers.
The future looks good!
It's not really up to Charfleet, but RL Allan what they want to produce. I have this in Black and it is beautiful. Allan has said they won't be producing any more of these for a while.
Many Allan die-hards won't buy a Bible bound by Charfleet. Note the smear of red paint in the upper left corner on the left side page at 5:48. I have something similar in gold in mine as well. For $267 the quality could be improved.
I actually like the imperfection of page edges because it reminds me that this Bible was crafted by hand in small batches. Very bespoke in feel.
Really quick question I'm looking to trade some Bibles for this Bible but I don't have Facebook so not sure if there is a way to get in touch with any Bible enthusiast that might be willing to trade. Got any suggestions?
FB is the only place I know to do such a trade.
@@timwildsmith Gotcha thanks!
Mine has the translators to the readers, which that doesn’t seem to.
What is the name on the box of your Bible? I’ve never heard of an Allan that has both the Epistle Dedicatory and the Translators to the Reader.
I remember Oxford bibles from 1960 to 1975 ?
Cool!
I have the ESV 53C SPC any one want to trade?
Maybe you mean ESV NC1?? They don’t make the 53C in anything other than KJV (it can be really confusing).
Not sure I like the speckled pages or yapp.
Not for everyone... but I sure love it!
Do realize that even though Allan and Schuyler Bibles are considered the best quality Bibles available, there is no place you can go to and see and handle the Bibles yourself before buying one? Not even at the offices of Evangelical Bibles, the distributer in the USA!
Somebody needs to fix that.
This is one of the main reasons why I do reviews. So much of the retail world is online now.
@@timwildsmith That is so true, and I understand. However, it is possible to go into a Christian bookstore in practically any major city and physically examine a wide variety of Bibles by all the major publishers - except these. Many of us consider spending $200+ for a Bible to be a once in a lifetime event; we will never have a dozen or so of them just for fun.
