As an owner of all 3;
the text block of the Cambridge Cameo is unmatched,
the leather & paper of Schuyler is unmatched,
and the study helps & overall design of Allan’s are unmatched.
In my humble opinion.
I purchased the Blue Cambridge Turquoise last year. Love it. I’d get a Skyler Treveris, but my wife would lose her mind.
Thanks for this video Tim. I had bought the Schuyler Treveris Tuscany Calfksin about a year ago and it just didn’t fit me too well. This past week, I traded it for a Cambridge Concord. I absolutely love it, though I wish it was the full yapp like my Schuyler.
Without a doubt, each of these makes hold their own in specific areas. Would love to own all 3 one day.
I really like the turquoise and topaz! Gorgeous bibles. Thanks, Tim. Keep ‘em coming.
Thank you! Will do!
The KJV Treveris gets my vote. Beautiful presentation of a beautiful translation.
Just bought the Canterbury! My first Schuyler and first KJV!
Very helpful and informative reviews. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
If I could only purchase one, I'd get the Cambridge Turquoise.
My only knock on the Allan text block is it does not italicize added words.
Otherwise I'd go with the Allan 53 over the Turquoise for my "if you could only pick one" choice.
I have a 43, 52, 53, 62, 63, WM Canturbury, Full Yapp Canturbury and Treveris and I Love all of them. I don’t know what I’d do without my 53 though
Thank you for the side by sides, I really want a Schuyler and now I am really sold. The yapp is just neat.
For a true KJV fan I would think the 53 is the benchmark. However the Canterbury is a beautiful Bible with the drop caps and references at the bottom. Great review and comparison Tim. Thank you.
Totally agree!
I own the cheaper version of the KJV mcclaren version, but with these I Love the RL Allen long primer it is a beautiful Bible. I also like all the additions at the back of the Bible. Many newer Bibles are barely including anything but a few maps nowdays. I do like verse by verse and center or inside column references. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us all these. Take care
Can you please make a separate comparison video focusing more in detail on the differences between the Cambridge Turquoise and the 53 Longprimer.
For me, I would have to go with the Schuyler Treveris. Single column paragraph is my favorite Bible format, and the KJV is my favorite translation. Sadly, there aren't many single column paragraph KJV editions available on the market. But I've gotten two so far: The Cambridge Clarion and the New Cambridge Paragraph Bible. Go, Cambridge!!
Thanks for providing this content brother!
You're welcome!
Among those Bibles I’ve got the Cambridge Turquoise, the Concord, and the Topaz. And looking at the others, my favourite is still the Turquoise because of its next to each corresponding verse reference system and its vintage feeling. I’ve got the Turquoise in black goatskin and black calfskin full yapp (a.k.a. “The Yapple”), and the latter is currently my favourite Bible in English language.
If I could make a ranking of the 3 favourites among those shown in the video: 1. Cambridge Turquoise; 2. Allan Longprimer; 3. Cambridge Topaz.
Great video as always, Tim.
I have had all of those at one point-plus the PSC and WMC. Now I only have the Schuyler Canterbury in the classic size. All were great. I am excited that Schuyler is going to do an edition with the Apocrypha.
The Cameo is another classic look hand-sized with a lot of the same bells and whistles as the other vintage editions-Allan of course has similar hand sized editions with that old world feel.
The New Cambridge Paragraph Bible and the Clarion are nice alternatives to the Treveris in less of a modern hybrid reader format-plus they are a little more economical.
I didn’t intend to write that much.
Wise words, my friend!
I am looking forward to your review of the leather over board Canterbury than you mentioned was coming out this year. One of the many things I like about the Canterbury is the font size. I think too that a "king james glossary" should be included in more kjv bibles.
Thanks fo this side by side video. IMHO, if I were to purchase only one of these, it would be the R L Allan 63 longprimer. I love the wide margin & that they put the lined paper in the back of the bible. Keep up the great work. I love your reviews.
Good choice!
Thanks a lot, Tim! I’ve been looking for a new KJV to be my main Bible at Bible college, but I’ve realized I want too many to pick only one 😂
I would think the KJV is still popular enough to warrant printing it in a premium format. Schuyler recently printed the old RSV and had a good run and interest with it. I'm interested to see if what is offered by these printers for the KJV is similar to what is offered for the newer ones, like the ESV, NIV, NLT, etc.
Great video Tim , I always enjoy your reviews, I prefer the the Longprimer , but they’re all great Bibles
Thanks 👍
Excellent video! I do think you should have added TN into this mix. They do have a variety of KJV styles in their premium collection. And their comfort print is worth mentioning. IMHO, of course. Otherwise, great job in this video! 😊
Thank you for all your work and knowledge you put into these review Videos. I have purchased the KJV Canterbury and the ESV Quintel from Evangelical Bibles off your recommendations. Looking forward to there ESV premium Study Bibles releasing later this year so I can grab one in Blue. I hope you get one of the new ones to review so I can get a feel for it before I make the purchase. I know you own one that is older I would like to know if there are any updates and or changes to the new ones they are doing I saw that it will release in 3 colors. Gotta go Blue. Blessings
Awesome!
The 53 Allan….absolute GOAT in KJV!
Awesome video!!
Looking forward to this video !
Hope you like it!
Great review! ❤️
Thank you! 🤗
👍 I just got the Topaz which is an awesome Bible. But really enjoy the Schuyler!
I am really looking forward to this one
R L Allen and Cambridge are far more appealing for me, especially the "classic/vintage styles".
I have most of these Bibles.. I really like them all…one unique Bible that isn’t part of your list is a kjv cranberry water buffalo full Yapp midsize Bible bound by AA leather and sold buy Church Bible Publishers. AA leather has amazing Bible covers … the water buffalo is my favorite.
Dude, this comparison made it easy for me. While I would love a full yapp. The Cambridge Turquoise text being so bold, looks great and easy to read. I have a KJV store one, and the font is just...not to my liking at all. My 2 Nelsons with the nice comfort print are very nice and easy to read. But I think the Turquoise will be my Bible of choice, because readability is the #1 thing Im looking for.
Thank you for the comparison video! It helped alot.
You’re welcome!
I have the Schuyler Treveris marble merlot full yapp and LOVE it. So readable, and it’s just gorgeous and feels ultra lux in the hand.
I have the Allan 53c Longprimer the Schuyler Canterbury and Friday I will have the Cambridge Turquoise love them all but my favorite is the Schuyler Canterbury
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent and useful comparison video, but missing the head-to-head I’d really like to see: the full yapp Turquoise vs the 53. Much easier to buy the Cambridge of course-there are no 53s for sale at present. And Schuylers are never in contention for UK folk.
I've thought about doing head-to-head videos with some of these.
I don’t own a KJV bible but I really want to get a nice one because it’s a solid translation. I want to get familiar with reading in that classic language. I don’t struggle with nasb, ESV or Nkjv. This video is 100% up my alley, I’ve been eyeing the RL Allen 53 in calfskin.
The Credo Canterbury has a good definition in the back for archaic words which is really nice if you have any issue with KJV words. But the Allen 53 or 63 really is the nicest Bible you can buy.
@@casey1167 I don’t like the Oxford text
@@BibleLovingLutheran Please explain. (I should understand, but I am not really up on that issue.)
@@casey1167 just study it a lot. The Cambridge is the original text. But I’m honestly mainly LSB now. KJVO has ruined the KJV for me.
@@BibleLovingLutheran I did some reading one it... yes would be nice if the Allan was Cambridge. Over my life I have moved farther to the KJVO position, though I do respect the LSB and NKJV with some reservation.
I like them all but i like the topaz best! I like the modern layout for a change!!
If I had to choose only one, I would choose the Schuyler Canterbury KJV.
I have a Schuyler Canterbury and I love it
I have a few of each. I love them all, can't choose one over the other. All are unique in their own right😅👍
My personal preference would be a kind of burgundy colour, with super giant print, at least 16 point type face, with centre column that has cross references, and the ability to add pages. It would be nice also to have one that numbers the Books, Chapters and Verses of the Bible, and even one that has details on every verse, showing, for instance, what number verse it is, how many words, letters, and how many words and letters to date. I like Bibles that have what I call " Goodies " in them, that is, the charts, maps, tables, concordances. histories - the extra things that Tim was talking about.
16 pt would take a lot of pages. It would be a very large bible so go with 28gsm paper so it’s thinner I bet you can get this custom made
Personally, I landed on the Cambridge Concord in goatskin, because it matches us with their wide margin. I love having one Bible to study and one to take with me, that have the exact same text block for familiarity. Similar to how they publish the ESV text block identical in both the Pitt Minion and wide margin.
Having seen the Concord and Longprimer side by side before buying my own, I much prefer the Concord text block although I liked the RL Allan goatskin better.
Now, if only they would make the Concord in the Pitt Minion form factor instead of a different text block for the KJV...
For years I have used Cambridge Bibles, but the cover is coming off my latest personal Cambridge. I think I would like to investigate the Schuyler personal size Bible with the full yap.
I'm a big fan of the Concord, specifically for the study aids.
I have tried to use the Cambridge Concord as an EDC. It’s the perfect size in my opinion and I love the layout. Unfortunately, the binding breaks down between the pages and the maps… Such a bummer.😢😢
I would probably go with the Allen. Even though I want a Schuyler, I think Allen is the best & most classic looking Bibles
hey Tim, if you put the Cambridge KJV Turquoise and the Cambridge ESV Topaz next to each other ( both in Blue Goatskin ) without looking at the spines, could you tell which one is which just by looking at them? or, would they be identical?
Any opinions on whether to keep or not to keep the little warranty/certificate cards that come with each one of these bibles.
I like to keep them.
That full yapp Concord is very tempting.
Sooooo nice. 😍
I have the Cambridge Concord WM & the RL Allen Blackface. They are both excellent Bibles, but the Allen is a superior Book IMO. Im grabbing a Schuyler Canterbury WM or an Allen 5WM next. I don’t have a Schuyler, but love my Blackface.. Hard decision
Dobyou have any when the 43 will be available again? Can't find it
Any possibility of a review of the Cambridge Coronation Bible that they published for Charles III ?
Coming soon! 😉
8:43 good point
Cambridge, Thompson's chain reference first edition custom done by Ben's Bibles..
Another cheaper version of the Turquoise is the calf split but also the same paper as in the goatskin.
Hey ,, Schuyler.. bring back the calfsplit Kjv, Canterbury. It had the 36gsm in an affordable cover.
They are adamant they won't bring back 36gsm paper.
I love my Westminster. Do they still make these?
You can get one from Trinitarian Bible Society, but not Schuyler.
Nothing quite like a Schuyler. If I wanted a new KJV, the Canterbury would be my obvious choice
I have a Schuyler, but the Allan really is a step above....
@@casey1167 How so?
@@offroad5798 The Schuyler has better resources, by a wide margin, 28 GSM Paper, retains italic, red letter.
The Allan is 40 GSM paper and just a better feel. I also am not big on red letter editions. As noted by someone else, the Allan is the Oxford text, and it looses the italic so those are down sides.
For me personally, the Allan is what I take to Church, because it is easier to read and I don't feel like I am going to rip pages trying to keep up with the pastors and the Schuyler is the Bible I have at my desk.
I think it would have to be an Allan 43. ✌️🤓
Which one has the Apocrypha?
You all correct me out there,, the longprimers pretty much just have different covers but same paper.. 28gsm, 32gsm and then slap a diff chasis?...
The Concord, they cheap out on the paper once you get the non-goat skin.. meaning the premuim paper is with the premium cover.
42/43 has 28gsm, 52/53 has 36gsm, 62/63 has 40gsm. All India paper.
42/52/62 has Meriva Calfskin cover.
43/53/63 has Highland Goatskin cover.
42/43 is the smallest footprint, without full yapp. 62/63 is the largest, with wide margins.
@@Chomper750 understood.. what i am getting at is people have to buy premium to get a premium text block (DOH thats why it's "premium"). I don't know what goes on in the publishers world... It may be more money for them to put a premium paper on a calf split.
It's like the nelson complaint about isbn in a back leather cover. Nelson pays more if they put the isbn in the interior cover. Funny.. 😁😅 I'm complaining.. some people don't even have bibles. ..
Go figure..
Do you think R.L. Allen is going to do a special KJV for the coronation of the King in May? I would be surprised if they didn’t.
I assume they will.
That's a shame Charles does not serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
That's a shame Charles does not serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
The R.L Allan 53 Primer's leather is too thin and floppy. It feels like the text block is wrapped with a thin piece of leather. I don't like to be able to feel "through" the leather. The R.L. Allan Brevier Clarendon Edition, their smaller Bible, is awesome. I have three; red, blue, and purple.
Hello sir, is there a place I can get my Bible rebound?
I have a bunch of rebind videos on my channel. Here’s the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLxYZnUdk-hd2z06EWdN60XVWRAPqHVn49.html&si=ecZei95f5ojk6ZV8
Longprimers are here to stay.
I don’t care for the “red letters” on the Schuyler. I don’t really like having the references at the bottom.
I don’t think you can go wrong with R L Allans especially the longprimer (gorgeous font and dark as well)
The LP 63
Does R.L. Allen produce a bible with the Apocrypha?
Apocryphal is not inspired
Apocryphal is not inspired
Which would you go with if you could only have one ?
allen 53, cambridge concord, schuyler canterbury, i think those three are solid options for a hybrid reader and study, preaching, etc. But if you want a Readers only bible go with the schuyler treveris! i do not own any of them, or i just ordered a treveris for myself in kjv But done some research. Either way you cant really go wrong with any of them. It just depends what you are using it for and what you prefer to focus more on, and how much you are willing to spend on it. Glhf sir
Also tell me which one you ended up getting if you already decided on one!
@@kimandersen5223 i bought a 53 longprimer and a schuyler. I prefer the schuyler actually.
Thank you for this video. The KJV is my go too.
I have KJV with Apocrypha Cambridge Cameo, KJV Note Takers lambskin (KJV Store) and KJV Classic Wide Margin Study Bible lambskin (KJV Store).
It's too bad none of these are perfect for me. The lack of italics in the Longprimer is a dealbreaker. The lack of page headings in the Topaz is a dealbreaker. The small print in the Concord is a dealbreaker. The old font in the Turquoise is a dealbreaker. The lack of translation notes in the Canterbury is a dealbreaker. Am i too picky? lol
100,000 cross references? That sounds a bit high to me. If the bible was 1750 pages, that would be almost 60 per page. Am I misunderstanding how that is calculated?
I steer clear of the kjv but cool video.
Fair enough!
Then you need to get Saved
Then you need to get Saved
@JordanWallace-nb4id I am saved. Why would you assume I wasnt?
@@KevC1111 Because you hate Gods word. Holy Spirit is not in you.
Okay, not cool. How many poor KJV people are going to spend money Wednesday Night? And you even put links to your videos on specific Bibles....
What is your recommendation for the best black letter KJV that retains the italics?
By the way, I bought one of the Allan 63 "special purchase" for sale now. "Owing to technical issues with the gold foil for page edge gilding, all copies have a slightly mottled effect to the art gilding and are reduced from the usual price of £225 to £200 accordingly." ---- I could not see any issue in the one I got, so a great purchase if someone was thinking about it.
Thanks.. I've been wondering about the art gilding.
@@Chomper750 Not guaranteeing anything, but the one I got looks just great. I actually emailed them to see if they sent me the wrong one by mistake. I think for the price they are well worth it.
The Topaz has a cheaper "model" 😂.. same paper with a calfsplit cover. Beware tho.. Cambridge thinks that the post scripts in the epistles are inspired.. whatever.
Cambridge also thinks that Job is folklore.
