I think they need to take the text out of the gutter a bit more. The gutter may like some note taking space as well you know... Plus, it would look more balanced.
Allan KJV 62 Longprimer Sovereign Black Meriva Calfskin > Silver Line Edition Bible < Can you do a video on the Silver Line edition of this bible? i know you've already done this video on this bible but, i was just hoping i could see a video of the Silver Line edition because i can't find Any videos of the exact one that i ordered anywhere online.
Hello Tim, I have watched many of your videos on bible review. May I know what is your every-day-carry (EDC) bible, i.e. a bible that you carry it on-the-go daily?
I continue to use several Bibles regularly, but the NRSV1 from R.L. Allan has become very special after it was the only Bible I took with me to Oxford last fall.
Hey Barry! If you want super premium, the NKJV Topaz from Cambridge and the NKJV Quentel from Schuyler are both fantastic... but I'm also a HUGE fan of what Thomas Nelson has been doing with their latest NKJV releases. The Maclaren is awesome, as well as any of the Premier Collection NKJV Bibles.
@@timwildsmith Hey my man... U know what --those exact 3 brands are exactly what I was thinking. Lol!!! Yes, Just today I thought about the Thomas nelson premium preaching bibles in the nkj version, could very well be better than the big 3: (Camb, Schuyler, RL Alan-- because, they R limited in their nkjv option. And until Cambridge came out w/ the topaz, they were limited,; And; Schuyler also, until they came out w/ their most recent nkjv option. But yes, T Nelson has definitely picked up their game!!!! --Anyway, I wanted to get an expert opinion from Tim, "The WILDMAN" PREMIUM Bible guy 1ST . 😇😇 Thanks a bunch for your response!!! Love your work!!! Bjb
the size of the text is called the Print Size, the Font refers to the style of the text, i.e. Times New Roman. with all due respect, Pastor Tim, i just wanted to point that out.
I just ordered one of these in the NASB, but got the KJV instead. If I didn't laugh, I would cry. lol. Anyway, I'm fine with the KJV too. Maybe next one they can get the order correct. I know which link I clicked on, but received this. It's still a very beautiful Bible!! 😇
I wish they made the longprimer in other versions! I love the KJV for reading the Gospels and Acts aloud, but overall I’d prefer an ESV or a CSB in Longprimer, that’s just a dream though 😂
I see that Bibles Direct has the 63 in stock now. It would be a want, not a need for me, so I am going to have to skip especially considering the price. It would be nice to have though.
i looked up how to pronounce Meriva and i learned that the phonetic spelling is both Meri-va and Me-riva so, i'm guessing you could say it either way and both would be correct.
Excellent review, brother. R.L. Allans are my favorite bibles. Partial to the 52 and the Brevier Clarendon just based on dimensions. And I love the full yapp on the Brevier. Again, good job. Looking forward to the forthcoming Thursdays. And, FWIW: Mare-eh-vuh.
Beautiful Bibles. The calfskin looks really really nice. The special edition plum and petrol blue look amazing, but even in a "regular" black or navy blue, this would be very special.
Following up, just picked up a new Allan 52 in this same color and straight away noticed a line running up and down the length of the spine, just off center and to the left. Much like those Schuyler Treveris spines. Reached out to Evangelical Bible and was told it was the infamous "Oxford Hollow." Wondering if this one you've reviewed here has that, though it doesn't appear so from the video or from the pics on your blog. It's a gorgeous bible, but that is slightly off-putting and unsure why, now, after centuries of bible making, someone saw the need for an "Oxford Hollow," particularly for a bible that isn't all that heavy or large to begin with.
Not sure what's going on... seems like a few of the recent new editions coming out of Royal Jongbloed have had more noticeable Oxford Hollows on the spine.
@@timwildsmith - Yes, in some pics/vids, it cannot be seen at all. In others, it's much more prominent. Aesthetically, it's not the nicest thing to see, but, as a whole, the Bible is still a work of absolute beauty (both inside and out).
Tim Wildsmith Sorry I meant like how light glares off of paper? I have a couple Bibles that are really nice made but light reflects back really bad off of the paper making it harder for me to read. I was curious about the Allan 62 or 63 since it has a textured paper. I greatly appreciate your reply.
@@p.williamfox6417 Gotcha. I have not had that problem. The 62 and 63 do have slightly different paper designed for writing, so I would guess that it may have a bit less of that glare to your eye.
Hello Tim. I’m from Puerto Rico and I have learned a lot from your reviews.
Glad to hear it!
❤ this is the best Great paper font and I love Meriva calfskin

This 62 Allan is similar to the Cambridge wide margin called the eagle
Great review, Tim, thank you, but, writable paper? I own 2 Allans & can’t imagine writing on either of them.
Blessings,
John
I understand that feeling!
I ordered the 62 petrol blue

I'm also interested!

Hey Tim, In your opinion Whats is a couple of the best premium Nkjv bibles on the market today to carry or preach from??? Thanks, Bjb

There is a 5WM Allan that you should check on your thoughts
The Sovereign is the finest of Long Primers! I love the dark print and the Oxford setting is wonderful!
Sooo beautiful!!
You should compare this with the Cambridge wide margin and the 63 as well

Yes, I saw that too... 63s are awesome.
never thought I'll say this but I'm in love with an Allan lol looks amazing tho Merry Christmas Bro
By far one of the best text blocks of all time!!!!
Indeed!
Very nice review, Tim. Thanks!
You're welcome, Sheryl!!
Amazing craftsmanship.

I like this bible. Very nice.

Thanks, Jared... "Mare-eh-vuh" -- got it!
i just ordered this bible today, except i got the Silver Line edition of it and i got to order it on Groundhogs' Day lol
hey Tim, do you like football? if so, do you have a favorite team? if you do, who do you go for?
Roll Tide!
is that a college team? i was thinking more of what NFL team do you like?
Beautiful Bibles. The calfskin looks really really nice. The special edition plum and petrol blue look amazing, but even in a "regular" black or navy blue, this would be very special.
So soft and smooth. It’s lovely.
Mer-eeva is how the Englsih say it. American's seem to invent a lot of pronounciations which I do not understand, being British Australian!
Hahaha. Thanks!
Great review! ❤️
Thanks, Mom!

How is this bible different from the Allan Oxford wide margin bible?
I believe the typesetting is different, and this has smaller margins all the way around.
Is the paper any less reflective than the others or Cambridge paper?
Hmmm… I’m afraid I don’t quite know what you mean. I’ve never thought of this paper as reflective.
