The preorder was closer to that price. They do run a discount code, so there may be a way to get a little more off the list price.

They usually offer a discounted price on the pre-orders for the next batch after they sell out.

And I received mine in Lunar Yellow two days ago. It is really beautiful and the quality is better than I have seen in my Schuyler Quentels. I do find the blue words of Christ to be a bit light, though. I would have preferred a darker blue. As for the errors pointed out in the video? Who knows? Perhaps someday this first edition will be a collector's item!

@@guymontag349in the HIStory?

I love orange but the navy with the orange? 🤦🏼‍♂️ no Broncos.

You know... I'm not sure. Humble Lamb is an odd duck. They seem to just produce was strikes them in the moment. 🤷‍♂

which one did you end up going with i’m in the same boat?

If you look up "Librarian Break In" that's the method I use. There's a few videos on YT demonstrating it. I might have to make a video on it. I've had a few people ask about it lately. 😆

You can order directly from them: isr-messianic.org/shop/the-scriptures/the-scriptures-leather-cover.html

I have a video on my channel about storing Bibles long term. As far as the break in, look up a "Librarian Break In" there's a few videos that explain it. It's a simple process of flipping through the Bible in a way that loosens the sewing and gets it ready for use.

My Humble Lamb KJV Lion did not require any break in. It was soft, flexible and easy to read any page from front to back and it lays flat right out of the box.

No, not in this edition.

@@RustyBibles OH, well shucks. I have one in the mail headed my way. I'm thinking of gifting another when the money becomes available.

I'm sorry to hear that. Such a shame for such an expensive Bible. I hope they're able to make it up to you somehow.

I have the KJV Lion version of the Humble Lamb bible. I have had it three months and read daily. So far no quality issues at all.

@@jmcgregor316 I’m happy for you. I wasn’t that blessed.

That's the name Humble Lamb gave to this edition.

Yeah, it is especially on the last two since they're directly across from each other and typically layout is done in spreads (looking at both pages at the same time). I've made similar mistakes laying out magazines with a 2.5 million circulation, and know how easy it is to do under a tight timeline. Does it sting? Certainly, but they'll fix it on the next run along with anything else they catch. It's still a beautiful edition.

I don't mind too much that the last two illustrations are duplicates, but I think they should make buyers aware on their site. If I had known about it beforehand, I would have waited before spending +$200 for a missprint.

@@Schmalsthat is my point. They knew and still sent them out. And didn’t say anything They arnt even offering a refund or exchange on them.

@@gypsylane8723 Yup. This is my first time buying from them, and I have to say I'm disappointed. Not a good first impression.

Yes I am going to get a Schuyler KJV I was looking at them today I love the Purple one the full yapp It's goat skin for 225 But yes I agree with you , And I hope I can get one

I believe you're right. A very creative idea!

@@RustyBibles could be stories of the Bible too. Something like that though.

It was $165 at preorder, which takes the sting out of it. Usually when they sell out, they'll do a run of seconds at half price, then the preorder for the next run will be discounted until it comes into stock. Premiums are definitely getting pricier though. Allan did an new ESV edition recently, and it was going for $400. That's too rich for my blood. I think the majority of the cost of this one is the amount of work that went into the design; they really worked it over. But I can for sure understand the cost/benefit analysis when you consider the fact that you can get a Schuyler for the same price.

@@RustyBibles I bit the bullet and I ordered it came in today n I love it I am glad I changed my mind ❤️

Is there anyone printing in America?

@@jamieelder7438 I think Local Church Bibles, International Bible Association and Church Bible Publishers all print in America. I feel like there may be one or two others...

They're really good about reducing the price for their pre-orders. It was quite a bit less. Too late to worry about that now, but they usually offer a discount when they have pre-orders for the next print run.

To be fair, it was much less expensive during pre-order, and if you consider all of the different, unique features of this one, and the time, planning and design that went into it, I would say it's worth the price. Of course to each his own. Schuyler's are now over $250 and the most recent Allan ESV SCR was around $400.

There's a lot that goes into the cost of them. Do you have a video of the one you're speaking of? I'd like to check it out.

@@RustyBibles unfortunately there isn't I have been looking the past few months. I honestly only found one good video on the subject but it's more about the failure of the author's intentional community still quite fascinating but not directly related to the "bible" he "wrote". anyway i'm done waiting for someone like me to talk about it all. almost all the videos here on youtube about this "bible" are from followers of the niche religion leading funtimentalist preachings instead of any philosophical, secular or generalized introduction into the subject matter. I will drop a few links if you're interested and I will definitely be making a video (or a few) on the subject in the near future. I am curious though on how the eloist's prepared their eloist edition for release as it does seem they are selling them under cost as the modern english (standard edition) version is made like crap and is 2 volumes for twice the price. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oahspe:_A_New_Bible www.amazon.com/Oahspe-John-Ballou-Newbrough/dp/0988983435 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etSKdcSImtu4aXk.htmlsi=h9FhzqXOHx7sHYZU
