Though its a bit smaller than I'd like, the Diadem/Pitt Minion typesetting is very very nice. If they make a Diadem for the NASB 2020, I'd still be tempted to buy one. The ribbons in the brown calfskin look almost coppery. I like Cambridge's copper red with brown covers.

My favorite EDC bible (NASB, ESV). Surprised CSB was the next translation to come to the Diadem, not surprised due to its gaining popularity. Need this in NKJV!

I have a thinline, wide margin and a personal size single column. Wish I could do 8.2 font, but that’s a no go for me.

I’ve been wondering, how does Cambridge paper feel compared to Schuyler? I got a Schuyler RSV & the quality of the paper is just incredible. I never figured I was a fan of smooth paper, but it’s smooth in a way that feels silky instead of as if an artificial coat had been applied. I got the NRSVue Premier collection bible and while it’s fantastic (their goatskin cover actually feels much plusher & more inviting to me than Schuyler’s), it doesn’t match the Schuyler in terms of the text presentation or paper feel. I’m wondering if I can ignore the Cambridge NRSVue Diadem or if I’m going to end up wanting one.

Randy, are you aware that you're the only one (as far as I know) to present a first look of the CSB Diadem? And I don't see it for sale anywhere on the usual suspects websites. It doesn't even appear on Cambridge's website in the UK (but then again, neither does the NASB2020 Topaz). So how do you rate? Come clean here, Randy - do you have a good friend or relative at Cambridge?? Can they get me a discount? Lol!

Hi Guy!! I usually wait before showing one until the publisher is ready for me to show it. I knew a lot of people were waiting to see the CSB Diadem, ao I decided not to ask them this time and go ahead and post it. They might get mad at me for it, but I decided to live on the edge this time. lol

I want to ask about the handling of all these floppy soft cover bibles: How convenient it is to hold them in one hand and read, coz the pages definitely gets rounded and it seems we have to open up our palm wide to let the pages straight. There maybe a difference in different bibles perhaps, so you can compare that as well. I guess most people read it just by holding it in hands or sometimes just one hand.
@BibleBuyingGuide6 ай бұрын
That's common for anything edge-lined; especially Bibles with a thick spine. This is why I like thinner Bibles. I actually prefer paste-down because it allows the spine to rise higher when the Bible is opened, flattening the page as much as possible. These covers don't feel that floppy.
@OneStepToday6 ай бұрын
do explain those terms in the videos: edge lined, paste down. Anyway, though i have not held a thinline or such bibles, I think the hard cover bibles (ESV church bible) are more convenient for reading by holding in the hand. Also, if you can get the NABRE New American Bible: Revised Edition: The Leading Catholic Resource for Understanding Holy Scripture. And the NABRE NT first communion version, then do review them; and anything with Apocrypha like the ESV diadem apocrypha. @@BibleBuyingGuide
