Thank you. Nice review. I was hoping to see an example of the Red Letter text. How would you rate it (color, darkness, print quality)? I agree with your comments about Schuyler quality, with one exception. Several of their editions contained flaws in the spine (creases) caused by a poorly aligned Oxford Hollow. I haven't seen it in my two most recent Schuyler purchases, so I suspect they have worked with Royal Jongbloed to correct the issue. Thanks again.
Very nice. But I hate the way its set up. I like the 2 column much better. I love that its text only, but the way that is makes it a deal breaker for me. There really is few options for a text only kjv anymore. Nelson has one, but its not a personal size. Holman makes a good budget leather one for like 40 bucks. Outside of that you have the Trevaris, TBS, and Cambridge ones. And seeing as I have a few personal size ones. The Holman 40 dollar one, pretty much crushes everything else. Its even got better paper than the Cambridge concord I have. Thicker, and easier to turn. Cambridge paper, is awful. And I wont be buying another one. Its too slick and thin making it a pain to use. Nelson thinline i have has great 36gsm paper, but its also bigger and unyieldy for 1 handed use. So for a personal size thinline, Holmans 35-40 dollar genuine leather, which is also like 9 point font. Is by far the winner for me. Because while it does not excel in any 1 category besides size. It has the best blend of readability, paper thickness/ease of turning, 1 handed use, weight ect. At only 1.5 pounds. Its quite the deal for 40 bucks.

I’m actually going to do a follow up to this. This is a very early review of mine and I was still learning.
But the red letter is really nice.

So is this the kjv version of the psq? Or is it a totally differnt bible than the personal size quentel?
The PSQ and the Treveris are completely different layouts.
Is Treveris using Cambridge text?
No, this is a Schuyler designed text.
