As an owner of all 3; the text block of the Cambridge Cameo is unmatched, the leather & paper of Schuyler is unmatched, and the study helps & overall design of Allan’s are unmatched. In my humble opinion.

Thanks for this video Tim. I had bought the Schuyler Treveris Tuscany Calfksin about a year ago and it just didn’t fit me too well. This past week, I traded it for a Cambridge Concord. I absolutely love it, though I wish it was the full yapp like my Schuyler. Without a doubt, each of these makes hold their own in specific areas. Would love to own all 3 one day.

If I could only purchase one, I'd get the Cambridge Turquoise. My only knock on the Allan text block is it does not italicize added words. Otherwise I'd go with the Allan 53 over the Turquoise for my "if you could only pick one" choice.

I would think the KJV is still popular enough to warrant printing it in a premium format. Schuyler recently printed the old RSV and had a good run and interest with it. I'm interested to see if what is offered by these printers for the KJV is similar to what is offered for the newer ones, like the ESV, NIV, NLT, etc.

Among those Bibles I’ve got the Cambridge Turquoise, the Concord, and the Topaz. And looking at the others, my favourite is still the Turquoise because of its next to each corresponding verse reference system and its vintage feeling. I’ve got the Turquoise in black goatskin and black calfskin full yapp (a.k.a. “The Yapple”), and the latter is currently my favourite Bible in English language. If I could make a ranking of the 3 favourites among those shown in the video: 1. Cambridge Turquoise; 2. Allan Longprimer; 3. Cambridge Topaz.

My personal preference would be a kind of burgundy colour, with super giant print, at least 16 point type face, with centre column that has cross references, and the ability to add pages. It would be nice also to have one that numbers the Books, Chapters and Verses of the Bible, and even one that has details on every verse, showing, for instance, what number verse it is, how many words, letters, and how many words and letters to date. I like Bibles that have what I call " Goodies " in them, that is, the charts, maps, tables, concordances. histories - the extra things that Tim was talking about.

Dude, this comparison made it easy for me. While I would love a full yapp. The Cambridge Turquoise text being so bold, looks great and easy to read. I have a KJV store one, and the font is just...not to my liking at all. My 2 Nelsons with the nice comfort print are very nice and easy to read. But I think the Turquoise will be my Bible of choice, because readability is the #1 thing Im looking for. Thank you for the comparison video! It helped alot.

Great video as always, Tim. I have had all of those at one point-plus the PSC and WMC. Now I only have the Schuyler Canterbury in the classic size. All were great. I am excited that Schuyler is going to do an edition with the Apocrypha. The Cameo is another classic look hand-sized with a lot of the same bells and whistles as the other vintage editions-Allan of course has similar hand sized editions with that old world feel. The New Cambridge Paragraph Bible and the Clarion are nice alternatives to the Treveris in less of a modern hybrid reader format-plus they are a little more economical. I didn’t intend to write that much.

Personally, I landed on the Cambridge Concord in goatskin, because it matches us with their wide margin. I love having one Bible to study and one to take with me, that have the exact same text block for familiarity. Similar to how they publish the ESV text block identical in both the Pitt Minion and wide margin. Having seen the Concord and Longprimer side by side before buying my own, I much prefer the Concord text block although I liked the RL Allan goatskin better. Now, if only they would make the Concord in the Pitt Minion form factor instead of a different text block for the KJV...
