Review

This Bible has the highest aesthetic value compared to a plastic cased CD; the rich leather binding, the quality paper and gilt edges give a feeling of everlasting richness. With all its features, some unique, this must be the ultimate Bible. ECBJ

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Awesome after all these years, August 13, 2006

By 

SLS (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: KJV Concord Wide Margin Reference Edition with Glossary and Concordance Burgundy calfskin KWM267 (Leather Bound)

I have had this KJV Concord Wide Margin Reference Edition for 4 years. It has held up beautifully--indeed it still looks virtually brand new (and I have used and written extensive notes in this Bible). Here's what I like about this Bible:
1. The Calfskin leather covering. This leather has held up unbelievably--as if it is still brand new.
2. The clarity of the font. Even though the font is somewhat small, it's bold font is crystal clear (and my eyes are not very good).
3. I love the fact that there is so much space in the margins for writing notes. And not just on each side, but the top and bottom of each page has plenty of room as well.
4. I also love the fact that bleed-through is not a problem. I use bold pens and multi-colored high-lighters, and yet none of them bleed through. Awesome.

The main plus is the fact that I've had this Bible for 4 years. And it still is in prime condition (and I have used this Bible very heavily).

If you are looking for a quality King James Bible, one that has plenty of room for your own notes, one that holds up even after heavy useage...well, this is the Bible for you. I love it and feel confident that this Bible will be in great shape 20 years down the road.

May 2009 update: I have many, many Bibles, but this one is my all-time favorite! The notes I have written in the margins for all these past years continue to serve me well. In terms of "quality"...you will not be able to beat this Bible! I give it my highest possible recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars KJV Cambridge Bible Wide Margin, February 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: KJV Concord Wide Margin Reference Edition with Glossary and Concordance Burgundy calfskin KWM267 (Leather Bound)

The Cambridge wide margin bible in the 1611 KJV is a treasure. Buy one before they are out of supply. I studied the bible for over thirty years and this bible is by far the best.
