I like the $35 Tru-Tone Bible. I don't need all the "bells and whistles" in a Premium Bible, and I think any Bible will last a long time if you take care of it.

Thanks for focusing on the paper of the Trutone edition. That is THE factor in determining whether to use it for a rebind. Crossway definitely up' d their game here. Many of their non-premium editions have some of the poorest paper quality I've seen in Bibles. Like you, I have experienced rebinds using an inferior text block with cheap, see through paper. The rebind I have looks beautiful on the outside, but is mediocre inside.

Here's what I'd like to see in this video...measure the text block with some calipers (i.e. compare the paper by thickness of the block), and underline some text with a Pigma Micron pen in each and then turn the page and see how much ghosting/bleed-through there is.

Would love to see one in the $75 range with a buffalo cover and raised ribs.

or when does it need to be re-titled as luxury? There are many nice leather bound bibles right around 100 that aren't even considered "premium" in the youtube review circles. Perhaps as a one time gift a fancy rebind. But there are PLENTY of Bibles that would serve a believer well, and not fall apart with heavy reading, that are 100 and under.

Even if I get the cheapest one, the prices of rebinds these days is just so expensive that itā€™s not even worth it anymore and itā€™s actually very discouraging. I get that rebinders need to earn a living, but for it to cost more than the premiums is just not inviting to me.

TIM I LIKE THE $35 ESV Heritage Edition. I really don't have any Premium Bibles, some old leather ones like the KJV Thompson Chain reference.KJV and ESV are my two Bibles! Love the Video!

This is a great video! You should make a video that compares the different variations of bibles (compact, reference, study, thinline, etc.). Canā€™t wait for your review of the CSB verse-by-verse handcrafted calfskin!!

My black trutone heritage just arrived in the mail today, couldnā€™t be more happier. I do enjoy a premium Bible here and there though, I own a Cambridge Concord in black goatskin that is great as well among others.

Love the video, particularly the discussion of feel and opaqueness of the paper. For me, paper really matters and is especially hard to judge these days when making mail-order purchases. Too many times I make a purchase and cross my fingers hoping for an acceptable result when I have it in my hands.

I have to agree, bookbinding can truly be a piece of art. My two favs of this video is the italian cowleather and the green one.

Regarding the "brightness" of the paper... I think ease on the eyes is a determining factor. To sharp of a contrast might not be appreciated by some people, whereas a slight see through and less bright white might be easier on the eyes for some..

Two additional things the premium brings: 1) higher quality ink/imprint, i find it to ever so darker than my crossway NT (which seems to be the same caliber printing). This may actually contribute to slightly more fhosting that you are seeing, yet the higher contrast on the page I find easier to read. 2) Gilding that is rolled on not sprayed, which keeps the pages flat and smooth and not sticking together or puffed at the edges. Thanks for making this video!

Adding to my earlier comment, I watched several of Timā€™s Bible reviews and felt confident in my purchases - thank you for your time, effort, and clear enthusiasm Tim. I do care about place of printing, paper feel, and even the inky/leather smell of a quality Bible. I am also interested in the translation. As a former Divinity student with a Congregationalist affiliation, NRSV is my choice for its academic tradition. I also read the KJV for its poetic qualities. The Divinity school I attended was home to the RSV translation completed in the early 1950ā€™s which is pretty cool. I had classes in the very room the Biblical ā€œscholarsā€ did their work - I did not fully appreciate this until later.

Thanks, Tim! While I do love my premium Bibles, I was really impressed with the ESV Heritage TruTone. I may have to pick one up and look into a re-bind, which I've never done.

I love the rebind. Not just because itā€™s a rebind, but the leather is gorgeous!!

I bought the Heirloom Heritage in Black Goatskin about a month ago and I love it! Itā€™s a really nice personal size Bible, easy to carry around my college campus and take to classes with me. I baby that thing so I try not to bring it everywhere because I donā€™t want to ruin it, but someday it will show wear and tear. I really want to look into the TruTone Heritage though because it may be something I take notes in or allow it to be beat up

I'm not a single column gal, but the ESV heritage text block is starting to grow on me. I like the reddish chestnut colour of the trutone, and the slightly better paper opacity. I do wish Crossway would up their ribbon game though. A bible of this size and thickness could do with two thicker ribbons of a decent length, more akin to what Thomas Nelson would produce in bible of similar quality.

The premium ESV heritage editions are nice, though it irks me that the only option of a better quality bible in this textblock beyond trutone is a huge step into premium bible territory at US$200+ above the trutone price point. It would be nice to have a midway "genuine leather" option with better ribbons, slightly better construction, spine hubs and maybe slightly nicer paper with a price point halfway between trutone and premium.
