Is it just me or is there just something amazing about old bold typesetting.
I love the old bold fonts.
absolutely. schuyler has terrible font.
No, it’s not just you. 😁
I really like the design and the look of the Canterbury, but nothing can beat the boldness of the print of the Cambridge bibles so far. And for me personally this is a game changer!
I've got them both but the Turquoise is definitely my choice between the two. I just love the font in it. The red just can't be beat. It's in a league of it's own.
I recently ordered the Cambridge Turquoise. I just can’t love the Schuyler, despite so many positive reviews, for many reasons. One being the cover/emblem. Another being the drop caps. Finally, the faint text, compared to others. Thanks for sharing this review/comparison. Blessings dear brother❣️
thought I was the only one who didn't like the Jerusalem Cross. Pagan!
"Cambridge Turquoise KJV" - Perfection. So much better than the RL Allen (Oxford) Longprimer. The best KJV ever printed. Outstanding quality. Look no further.
Good to know.
I’m trying to decide on which Bible to get when I decide to splurge…..The RL Allen, Schyuler, and now the Cambridge Turquoise
Decisions, decisions…🤔
@@JerseyGurl4Life My copy of the RLAllen had stitching issues and significant red edge bleeding issues. Could be a one off(?).
"I'm from Tennessee, we pronounce everything wrong"... That flat out tickled the snot out of me.
lol
Beautiful bibles. Salutes from Brazil. God bless you.
Quality of both is superb but I only use my Cambridge now because the Schulyer bibles do not include the KJV translator notes. With them not there you don't get alternative readings, literal readings or, maybe most important to me, the meaning of Hebrew names. The KJV translators thought it important enough to include these and I do as well.
The darker print of the Turquoise is the way to go to me. I'm also not a fan of the flourish drop caps on the Canterbury, it's too much of a stark contrast against the sterile digital font and looks out of place. I realize I'm splitting hairs here.
Ditto! My opinions as well. Blessings❣️
I have both, but, I have to say the Cambridge turquoise is one of the most beautiful overall best Bibles out there, as well as the Cambridge Concord reference bible. Again, I have RL Allan longprimers, Schuyler bibles and Crossways
I...can’t...stop...watching!
Awesome review brother. My favorite two Bibles right here!
Thanks Shawn!
Bible Buying Guide My pleasure!👍
Turquoise is 10 point with 11 point leading and uses genius kerning that sometimes joins 3-4 words to fit a line, yet still looks perfectly normal.
True. The numbers I gave are from my typography scale in order to specify how the two Bibles relate to each other. The E in the Turquoise is larger than the E in the Canterbury, not counting the leading.
Your Tennessee pronunciations are not wrong, they're just unique 😂 Another great comparison review, brother!
Thank you!!
@Shelby FL thank you!!
As always, great review. Which one do you think is more useful for study?
I have a Canterbury in brown calfskin and yes, it is a lovely bible. But it's pronunciation guide is fairly useless, because it only shows which syllables should be accented and doesn't indicate whether a vowel is hard or soft. Additionally, the Canterbury maps run into the gutter which I find most annoying and it is not red letter. The Cambridge print is darker, the maps are better, and the quality of the red letter is unsurpassed. Comparing the two, I'd have to give the nod to the Cambridge Turquoise.
I now think bottom of page verse #s ARE largely a waste. So center column or end of verse is my favourite.
I have the Canterbury and I love it but it is weighty. I’m hoping the lighter weight of the Turquoise makes it a little easier to hold. I wish I could compare the turquoise and the Concord. The spacing looks better on the Turquoise but the smaller footprint on the Concord is nice. So many people love the Turquoise, I had to give it a try. :)
Since the typesetting for TURQUOISE and CAMEO from 1920s. It seems nothing better found last 100 years.
I thought you made a Cameo with PSQ video. 🤔
So, I've narrowed it down to 3 bibles. These two and an Allan bible, not sure which one it was but its just as nice in appearance as well. I enjoy the fact that the Canterbury has a smaller sidekick, but that font on the Turquoise is amazing. Plus it seems much lighter from what I see and hear. I'd be sacrificing cross references tho. I can keep going lol gosh, decisions decisions.
The Allan Longprimer is the third one. Personally, I'm drawn to the Turquoise font, but all three have advantages. It would be difficult to choose.
Mark, which did you choose in the end?
How does the paper compare to each other???? Can they hold up to writing Yo have you seen the new edition
The Canterbury is noticeably thicker. The show-through is about the same. I haven't written in any of the Bibles with the 28gsm Indopaque, but I've seen a lot of them with writing and they seem to hold up fine. The newer Canterbury has the Indopaque (the same paper as this Turquoise). Here's my review of the newer Canterbury: th-cam.com/video/vf9YUUm8jTU/w-d-xo.html
If you had to pick one or the other which would you pick?
Hmm. I don't think I can choose. I go back and forth between them, but I probably use the Turquoise the most. Mostly because I usually prefer no section headings, but then sometimes I want them. I can't choose.
Concord in 9 point and cameo in 8 point font are both readable in bold dark print.
They are readable by all means, but if you are older, nearsighted, use contact lenses and the lighting isn't perfect, then you need both crisp printing AND larger text.
Concord is 8pt
I did find a goldilocks bible that rivals CONCORD and CAMEO for size and readability in an ESV bible that has 12 point FONT in a
5 3/4 by 8 3/4. BIBLE in dark brown buffalo leather. It was even printed in China and IS perfect. It proves that it CAN be done. About 60 $ on Amazon.
I would chose Cambridge because they have red letter.
Hah I was thinkin the exact opposite.
I was reviewing a Bible the other day and now I catch myself saying elegant LOL, it's your fault Ha.
That's awesome!! I got it from one of my clients. Their name is Elegant Themes and it's hard not to describe them as elegant.
Turquoise
Either Concord or turquoise are best bibles ever.
Concord font is too small and cramped
I really want the Turquoise in brown but can’t find any
It's an Evangelicalbible.com exclusive, but it's currently out of stock.
I think popularity of hand size bibles of CBP. Shows people want smaller BIBLES. Like Holman personal SIZE large PRINT.
Schuyler just won’t listen. Countless people have been screaming for something between the full size quentel/Canterbury and the personal size quentel/Canterbury. It’s become painfully obvious that for many one is too large and the other is too small. The Treveris is the PERFECT size Bible. But as a reader it’s missing key features. But size wise it’s perfect.
So Just give us a mid size q/c with a 9.5-10 pt font with a footprint exactly in between those two (like the Treveris) and you have a home run bible. I gave up on Schuyler because I got tired of trying to force myself to use one size or the other, neither of them being comfortable.
Now the Canterbury has a 28gsm paper and is significantly thinner, and I would assume lighter, so you’ll have to get a new one and redo the video 🤷🏻♂️👍
I did. :-) You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/vf9YUUm8jTU/w-d-xo.html
Why is the red letters not in Revalation?
They used to only include the words on Christ while on Earth in red. They're still following that with the Turquoise because it's an older setting.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Ohh that's cool! Thanks!!
I LIKE TURQUOISE. BETTE.R
I don't trust anything new or that even looks new. (The Turquoise KJV looks great in the old font bold.) All new versions display a preference for human reasoning. For instance, the "set on" error in Romans 8:6. LSB and ESV and NASB, which all claim to be the most literal, all change the greek text because they don't understand it. The KJV also makes the error but in a milder form. YLT and Ricker Berry interlinear will show the greek correctly. The new versions create a tremendous theological error and end up implying that you can save the fallen nature just by positive thinking. If the translators would just read verses 7 and 8, they would realize what a mistake they made.
