Nice review! I have the Cambridge Concord Reference Goatskin Bible and the Cambridge Concord Wide Margin Goatskin Bible. I love both of these Bibles. My Cambridge Concord Reference Goatskin Bible is my daily driver.
I have a goatskin Concord and Pitt Minion, but a calf split wide margin. One day when my wide margin is worn out and filled up with notes, maybe in 20 years considering it's over a year old and looks brand new still (a year plus of daily use), I'll upgrade to a goatskin wide margin.
My mom told me the last bible I'll buy is the Allan Oxford Clarendon Brevier #8 but man now I want to get this, it is so much easier to read when the pages doesn't curve with wide margin.
Agreed, some reviewers praise Allen's thicker paper but I think Cambridge's is great and minimizes the amount of gutter space lost due to the pages curving toward the spine, because of the slightly thinner paper making for a thinner spine.
Thanks for the review. While holding and handling these 2 bibles, would the goatskin be noticably more floppy when trying to hold it with 1 hand in comparison with the split calfskin? Thanks
Hello, is there a difference in the opacity or GSM of the paper between these two? I'd like to purchase one of these for an interleaved rebind project and wondered if buying the goatskin would be worth the additional cost since the cover will be cut off and will need to be regilded anyways.
Thanks for your question. While Cambridge does not list the exact GSM of either edition, on the Goatskin Leather it states "It is printed on a smooth, opaque and resilient paper with Art-Gilt Edges" whereas it makes no such statement on the Split Calfskin edition. Judging by that, and the fact that the paper just "looks" nicer in the Goatskin, we would say it does use better paper if that's what you're looking for. Hope this is helpful.
Yes, we offer both Name Imprinting and Custom Thumb-Indexing on even the Goatskin Edition with Art Guilding on the KJV Concord Wide Margin Reference Bible: www.thekjvstore.com/kjv-bibles/featured/kjv-concord-widemargin-bible.html The quality of both services is guaranteed. Blessings.
Your video provided the intricate detail, especially regarding the Pure Cambridge Text aspect, that I needed to make a purchase decision. I am a missionary in Uganda, I ordered this Bible online from Uganda. It is becoming incredibly difficult to know if I am getting a proper King James Bible anymore. Thank you for this informative video. God bless!
Great Bible, great quality. Love it, like it. I am a King James Bible believing Christian and I live in Hong Kong, Is it possible to order from Hong Kong?
Thanks for your comment. Yes, we have customers in Hong Kong actually and do ship there. DHL is $44.95 for the 1st item and $10.00 for each additional item in the same shipment: www.thekjvstore.com/kjv-bibles/premium-leather/cambridge/kjv-concord-widemargin-bible.html Blessings.
@@TheKJVStore thanks for the reply I purchased a Cambridge wide margin goat skin bible from you it only took 5 working days to get to me it's a beautiful bible and I've already recommend you as a good one stop shop for quality bible's at a good price in the near future I will be making more purchases God bless and may the Lord keep your business fruitful.
The paper does not appear to be the exact same quality. It appears slightly thicker and a "brighter white" on the Goatskin edition, which may also lend to it's increased flexibility over the Split Calf. Plus it just looks nicer when open seeing those Art-Gilt (Reddish) Page Edges which are very apparent and "pop" when the bible is open. Blessings.
Hello, The goatskin is higher quality and is edge-lined with Imitation Leather, has Art-Gilt Page Edges, and heavy paper for note taking. God Bless, The KJV Store
@kjvstore, do you know whether the references in KJV Cambridge, and even the R.L Allan, are from the KJV translators? Or were they added by publishers sometime afterwards? I may have missed that as I was skipping through the review.
Both Cambridge and R.L. Allan references were added by those various publishers (mostly in the 1800's and 1900's) after the fact. Cambridge University Press for Cambridge Bibles, and Oxford University Press for R.L. Allan Bibles (which exclusively use Oxford Reference Bible texts). www.thekjvstore.com/kjv-concord-wide-margin-reference-bible-cambridge/ Typically only "Original 1611 Edition" KJV Bibles will contain the KJV translators' marginal notes and/or references: www.thekjvstore.com/kjv-bibles/1611-editions/
Hello Thomas, The Concord Wide Margin bibles are good for carrying around. They are a little larger than standard sized bibles but still easy to handle. Blessings, The KJV Store
Can I have a Honest Comparison with the Doubleday Jerusalem Bible? Thank you ... Appreciate the Bible ... Saved my life ... I have a version of this I think but it is different yes it is a Allan Bible ... Has songs in the back with a concordance ... I grew up on the New World Translation ... This video blows that to pieces man ... Thank you, very much sir ... T⚡B ... God Bless
Thanks for your question and for your kind words about our video. We are sorry but we do not have access to and are not familiar with the Doubleday Jerusalem Bible. It appears to be out of print and isn't something that we carry. God Bless.
Ok then do you have a 1611 KJV with the Apocryphal and the name YHWH (Yahweh) that is compatible with the Allan Cambridge? That would be equivalent ... I am a Ex Jehovah Witness and have many Bibles ... I am looking for a certain language format ... Thank you for your time and patience .... I have a 1966 Doubleday and the Copyright ran out .. Same with the 1984 New World Translation
Since we are The "KJV" Store, we only sell original, authentic King James Version Bibles. The original 1611 KJV uses the English name "God" not the Hebrew name "YHWH". Any bible that makes this switch or word change would no longer be the KJV / King James Version by default. We hope that makes more sense. You can see our original 1611 KJV editions here: www.thekjvstore.com/kjv-bibles/1611-editions/ God Bless.
We're a bit confused by your question. The bible in this video is the KJV Concord Wide Margin Reference Bible from Cambridge, so Yes, it is a KJV Bible. Then you asked about the "Doubleday Jerusalem Bible" which is out of print and we do not have a copy of, so we cannot give you an "honest comparison" of that vs. the KJV Concord Wide Margin in this video. Then you asked if we have a "1611 KJV with Apocrypha and the name "YHWH" that is compatible with "Allan Cambridge". as we explained if a "KJV" Bible used the term "YHWH" instead of the English name "God" then it would no longer be a KJV / King James Version Bible. Also, RL Allan and Cambridge are 2 different publishers so we don't know what you mean by "being compatible with the "Allan Cambridge". We also tried to point out the difference in the "1611 KJV" and the "Regular KJV" by pointing you to only 1611 KJV Bibles (as primarily only original 1611 KJV Bibles contain the Apocrypha). Perhaps this FAQ regarding 1611 Editions will be helpful: www.thekjvstore.com/help/#1611
@@TheKJVStore yes, I saw it on Amazon describing a Cambridge bible. I searched online and found it meant the China version. I then ordered the bible from a local oxford bookstore confident I would receive a real genuine Cambridge goatskin Bible.
we have still never heard of this.
