They are two separate companies that make a very similar product, and I enjoy both, but I would say CBP takes the lead by just a hair. I have a couple CBP Bibles that I will review at some point, God willing.
Its a great-looking bible. It has a nice cover, single-column, no verse/chapter numbers, and pretty pictures inside. I'm not fond of verse indications, but at this point I'll let it slide. But my next gripe would be that, despite it being paragraph form, they still split up flow if there is a chapter break. For example, the first chapter of Genesis ends prematurely by one day, 3 verses too early, and most paragraph bibles retain that. It would be nice if they forgo tradition and instead respect the author's original intent and flow of thought. But otherwise, this bible is high on my list to give as a gift. EDIT: I just discovered that this bible comes from an older bible from Nonesuch Press, it comes in a 3-volume set (and possibly 5)!

I ordered it as soon as I saw your review. I think its fantastic! It's renewed my love for the KJV. It just seems to draw me in if I just open it to take a look. I love the traditional looking font and the wood cuts that give it an old time feeling even in the "newer" paragraph format.Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention.
I would enjoy getting a paragraph form version of the KJV Bible Although they have the versus listed above as far as how many verses are covered within that paragraph did they give an indication of each verse number if not is there a paragraph form why are they not only list the segmented sections of the verses above at the top but also within the paragraph label each verse with their perspective individual number
Another good option is the Thomas Nelson KJV Paragraph Bible. Here are some that are available: www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntt=kjv+paragraph&N=0&Ntk=keywords&action=Search&Ne=0&event=ESRCG&nav_search=1&cms=1&ps_exit=RETURN%7Clegacy&ps_domain=www
This comment is referring to Item # 435 E1B, with a Mfg Date of 12/15. This Bible has an error in Isaiah 14:16. I was reading this Bible while listening to an online reading in order to check the accuracy. Isaiah 14:16 has an error. In this Bible, it says, "They that seek thee...." It should read, "They that see thee..." They added the letter "k" to change "see" into "seek". I used to love this Bible. But after finding this error, I rarely read it. Too bad because I love the format. I'm not sure if newer Mfg Dates have corrected this error.
Very unique and interesting Bible. Thank you for sharing and comparing. BTW, what’s the difference between CBP, and LCBP?

Gotta get one of these! What a beauty!!!

You're very welcome! May God bless your reading of His word!
I just bought one after watching the video. Great quality.
Bought one because of this review and many others

Do you know what size the font is?
Watch the video. 😉
11 point font
Great review, made me go straight to their site to order one, but they are out of stock.

@@RustyBibles thank you!

I have this Bible in the red cover. Very readable!

This Bible has an error in Isaiah 14:16. I was reading this Bible while listening to an online reading in order to check the accuracy. Isaiah 14:16 has an error.
In this Bible, it says, "They that seek thee...."
It should read, "They that see thee..."
They added the letter "k" to change "see" into "seek".

Nothing a little white out can't fix! I know Thomas Nelson is coming out with a KJV Paragraph Bible this month. It might be worth a look.
Can you help check in this LCBP Paragraph Bible, in 1 John 5.8, does it use lower case "spirit" or upper case "Spirit"?
It uses an upper case "Spirit" in that verse.
