The 43 is the best for holding/long time reading/portability
The 53 is best for reading at home.
The 63 is the best for writing notes in.
They’re all 10/10
I loved this review! It is really cool seeing the Bibles side-by-side when comparing tbem… the visuality of it really makes a great difference fir me! Thank you so much!
You’re so welcome!!
I prefer the 63. Not just for the writing capability but the overall look.
Thank you, Tim. I think this was a much needed resource for people as they decide which Longprimer is right for them. It can be a little overwhelming-and I have lost track of the number of times I explained the numbers to people.
Thanks, my friend… that was the main goal. Hopefully this one helps people!
Man, I just ordered a 63 the same color as your 53, and I'm so excited
Nice!
I have had all of them and I prefer the 53. The 53 is the sweet spot for me nice size, paper is thick enough pages are easy to turn...it just feels right 😊 Thanks for the vid 👍
Thanks for sharing, Joel! If you MADE me choose, I’d probably go 53 as well… although rewatching this video today made me wish they’d make a 43 with full yapp.
@@timwildsmith A 43 full yapp would be awesome 😎
Very good, thanks!
Thank you too!
This is going to be a good one!
Oh yeah!!!
I got my purple 63 one today, it's not as large as I thought, still good enough for church carry, but definitely will be my personal home study bible. It is my largest and most expensive, making it my flagship bible.
Nice!!!
i have a 53 and ordered 63 last week. My 53 was messed up. I think some tampering in mail happened. The glued perimeter was undone top and bottom and on side. It was a discount 53 also. So im giving another shot starting with a non discounted 63. If this one is ok il get another 53. Love the yap and inside out leather with 36gsm. All others are going to 28gsm now. Besides thomas nelson humble lamb but i believe they have latex inside liners. So its getting hard to come by the thicker better quality. My Schuyler reference bible has 32 i believe. Its not bad but still prefer 36. When it all pans out if this rl allen another bad one. Il just go with schuyler for wide margin and thomas nelson for regular size goatskin large print refference kjv even though its latex inside cover. I have a cambridge turquoise for the reason of no xtra added notes and goatskin in and out but 28gsm . But i think i still need to get a facsimile 1611 to preserve the word of God. I still plan on marking out the unbiblical addings in mark 16 and other areas in my nelsons and rl's. I enjoy my turquoise the larger print but it peeves me the pages are just to flimsy.

Thanx, Tim🌹🌹🌹
Of course!!
You didn’t ask me, but as I recently bought a Turqouse and then sent it back due to damage and spent the refund on a Long primer 63, I’ll have a go at an answer :)
I think Allan’s Longprimer generally has a more appealing aesthetic. The highland goat coverings give them a very distinct look, combined with that full yap, it’s got a very antiquarian vibe that I think a lot of people who’re looking for a traditional presentation of the KJV text, in premium package want.
The Turqoise looks lovely- simple, elegant etc. But it has more of a ‘brand new’ bible look. No yapp in addition to the goat skin with tighter pebble grain that Cambridge use, and the shades of colour give it a very clean, neat presentation compared to the Long primer’s more vintage vibe.
Offering a full yapp version of the Turqoise was a step in the right direction. The calf skin Cambridge used was beautiful to the touch. They should do that more. The full yapp concord’s that EVB sold did really well. People want to have that option.
Regards the text itself; personally the Turqoise was an odd reading experience. The large type, the large amount of ‘white space’ on the page. All those things ‘should’ make it more clear and readable. But for me it didn’t. It felt like reading through a looking glass. Not bad, with an adjustment period maybe I would’ve gotten over it, but just not what I’m used to.
The Long primer is slightly smaller type. The text is also more condensed on the page, making the ratio of ink:negative space ‘feel’ right. It seems to fit more. I never thought this sort of thing would effect my reading, so this has been a learning experience for me.
Outside of aesthetics the LP has the edge over the Turqoise in that the LP has thicker paper. The chain-reference system which is quite cool, plus the LP is black letter and the Turqoise is red, which makes a difference to some people.
I love the Cambridge look. I hope they offer more full yap options in future and use that amazing soft calf skin on other editions. Maybe up their ribbon game and offer a black letter version of the Turqoise text?
These are my thoughts
Nice comparison :)
Thanks, Keith!!
I love the 63 because I take a lot of notes in my Bibles.
I have the 52 in Meriva and I love it! Good size for everyday Bible!!
For sure!!
Great soft-feeling bible!
Great review! Thanks!❤️
Thanks, Mom!!! ❤️❤️
I have the 53 Longprimer Crimson Red Highland Goatskin and I absolutely love this Bible. The 53 is an amazing Bible. It's my daily driver. I already have a wide margin. I have the Cambridge Concord Reference Wide Margin Black Goatskin Bible.
Love the Concord, too.
I would go with the 63 if I could afford it, it looks robust that can probably pass on to my great great grandson if the LORD JESUS CHRIST will not comeback soon. Maranatha!
It’s a beauty!
Thanks for the comparison and overview. I would definitely choose the 63. I much prefer thicker bible paper. I would even be happier with 45gsm paper, especially if I intended to write in my bible.
👍🏼👍🏼
I love my Thinline 43!
It’s so great!!
I have a green limited edition 53 as well
I love the look of the 53 the most. I think it's the perfect size and I love the full Yapp with the double gold edge lines
It’s sooooo nice!!
since i don't write in my bibles, the 63 falls behind the other two. and since i don't really carry my premiums anywhere, the 43's advantage in portability is not worth the trade off in better yapp protection, greater opacity, and more breathing room in the 53. actually, for me, the 53c is the star of the whole lineup.
Good thinking, Paul!
I will definitely pick up a 53 one day.
Looks interesting!
Great Bibles!
Hi Tim! Always appreciate your work! What's the difference between the 62 and 63< Thanks!
Video on that coming soon! The inside is the exact same… it’s just that the 62 is bound in Meriva calfskin (much softer) instead of highland goatskin… and it has less yapp and shorter ribbons.
@@timwildsmith Thanks!
Hi Tim. Great video. A bit of a side question. But I heard you mention in a previous video that Allan were bringing out an esv single column reference edition this year. Do you have any idea when and if this Bible would come out?
It’s been delayed (again). But they told me they hoped it would be out early next year at the latest.
@@timwildsmith thank you!
I have them all, but my preference is for 43. Easiest to handle.
Thanks for sharing, David. Good to know.
I have a 43 full yap green color first edition from charfleet book binder
I have a 53 and I like it. Having said that, if I had to make the choice again I'd be awfully tempted to grab the Cambridge Turquoise which I never knew existed until recently.
Hi Tim, I was curious about the picture in the background do you know the name of it?
That’s “The Return of the Prodigal Son” by Rembrandt (not the real one).
43, smaller, amazing grey color, looking now.
On their site they also have a 52 and 62. Are those different?
I like to see if they have 53C in green color that is one of my favorite colors if they still available
Is it just a huge difference in size or barely noticeable when not together ? From 63 and 53. Its just 1/2 bigger. I have a 53 was tampered in mail possibly so i ordered 63
The 63 feels pretty big… and I like it!!
I wish that the 53 had 38 gsm paper. I have the 63, but am considering the 53 for portability
43 for portability. Is there any difference in durability between these. Thinner paper a problem?
Heavier weight put more strain on the spine?
I'm looking for a premium bible because every bible that I own has pages pulling out and loose bindings. At my age I'd like my next one to be my last!
The sewn bindings should hold up well regardless of paper weight.
I have the Cambridge Topaz KJV the Schuyler Canterbury but I cant decide which Allan to get
The 53 is a classic... great place to start!
Is it tabu for Premium Bibles to have Thumb Index??? 🙂
They are beautiful Bibles and I have owned all of them, but I prefer Cambridge KJVs at this point. None of the Longprimers italicize the text added by the translators. I do like that feature whether or not it makes any difference in the reading experience.
Tim, you know a lot about what’s moving around in peoples minds concerning Bibles. Why do you honestly think the Longprimer has gained such popularity over for instance the Turquoise? After all, the Longprimer is one rare instances of the KJV without italics.
Do you think it has to do with the Oxford text? Is it the formatting of the pages? Text type? Bible size? Allan binding/paper? Amount of references? Formatting of the references? Is it a trend?
I have many Bibles, and among them a Cambridge Turquoise in black goat. It stands out to me as such a readable and beautiful KJV. But one rarely hears about it. It’s always the Longprimer. The cover I get, but still? What do you think? Is it an Allan preference or something else?
Is it not red letter? And if not, is that an option when buying?
Any problem on the glued perimeter. Im hoping mine was just a fluke
Not at all.
Does any Allan Bible have the words of Christ in red.
Is longprimer just a name, or does it actually mean something?
Are these brown, navy and green? The 43 reads as grey in the overhead shot
Brown, navy, and black.
@@timwildsmith Thank you!
53 NB all the way! Color & size & yapp!
It’s a beauty!!
@@timwildsmith the most beautiful ever!
I would probably choose the 63. It's quite impressive!
So true!
If the 43 had a full yapp I would like it best. I like the thin line Bible. The 53 isn’t too much more chunky though. 53 wins.
Right on!
👌🏾
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
43. “Small is still beautiful.” 😂 Our eight-year old says, the 53. ✊
Family battle!!
I think I like the 63 the best.....
Big and beautiful!
cant buy them at the moment i tried. On the secondary market there 500$ i cant afford that.
Wild markup!
53 out of the 3. They could use the same paper and such and make a thinner bible by taking out the references and the concordance and other extras in the back. I think they should have a text only edition for each size/edition. I don't use the extras and is just a waste of space.
Text only is quite interesting… I think they’d sell a zillion of those!
@@timwildsmith I think they would sell many. I asked them once and was told that their customer want what they are currently making so no changes would be made to produce a text only line.
I agree….text only would be the correct way to have a primary Bible….these were books/letters meant to be read out loud in public so that the Word can cut and divide into a persons soul as Yahweh has designed it. Not man made sermons and such. Let Jesus give the sermon
Read out loud
James…read out loud
Paul…read out loud….etc….
If it’s too hard to bear then the Word is doing what God designed it to do…people reach repentance by hearing the Word and feeling conviction....someone asked me if I’d desire to be a pastor…i said no…..the only Shepherding I can do is give someone the Word…..Jesus is our teacher….not men…
If we read Jesus words out loud…then there won’t be much congregation left in a public setting…..if Jesus were here religion would hate him because he deals with sin and the heart….he’d be enemy of the state!…John 12:48…come Jesus soon
Get you a Cambridge turquoise then
I believe the 63 has 40gsm paper.
I think they’ve used 40 and 38 on different batches.
@@timwildsmith That makes sense. Sorry, wasn’t trying to be a jerk 😅
@@matthewhazelwood6520 Didn’t read it that way at all.
