Finest Bibles in the World

Big claim but I just may have found it!!!!! I've gotten so tired of Bibles that you can't lay down and have them remain where you've turned and many times the binding is very bad. The paper is of poor quality and only lasts a couple of years. I've done some research and have come across what I believe to be the finest bible binders anywhere. This isn't an inexpensive enterprise but an investment. I've ordered an ESV and will be getting one for my pastor.

Which one of these would be the best in the KJV?

King James Authorized Version KJV ::

World Reference
Oxford Reference
Cambridge Reference
Oxford Text
Cambridge Text
Interlinear KJV/RV

Goatskin leather, with red under gold page edges, maps and gazetteer. $75.00.

I paid the same price for my Thompson-Chain leather Bible - 22 years ago.

So, not a bad price!

Cambridge is the best. I had several over the years. Just bought a new one this year I am so pleased with it. My second choice is World. I have a nice leather bound Bible from them.

I lost my Bible that I've had for 22 years!!! I've been looking for it for a month. I've torn the house apart - the truck and car! Looked and asked at church. I have no idea.

I've been reading out of an old one that has a lot of cross references and when I went to get mine - poof - it's gone.

I can't believe it!!! Where could it be?

I believe that 75 pounds! Unless you did the currency converter.

Oh, Lord! I didn't think it could still cost the same. No I didn't.

Let me check. It would be around $151.

Allan buys the "pages" from the different Bible companies and guilds and sews them. Fantastic workmanship. Makes my Cambridge come in a distant second.

That Thompson Chain was hand-sewed.

I know a man who had WAP Thompson Chain Bible for sale in his Christian Bookstore. Seems they forgot to include 32 page of helps in the front before they were sewn. So they gave a good deal, and both my daughter and myself have one of these misfits with the WAP on the spine, but missing the Doctrinal Insert in the front.

They lay down flat on a table and fresh out of a box even all pages lay flat.

At some point, Thompson stopped having them sewn, and started using glue to bind them.... kept the cost low, but after a few years the glue is weakened and makes the Thompson quite inferior now.

My other personal Bible is a Zondervan Leather Bound and it is weakened after 30 yrs of use. The print is bigger for those of us above 40...:sshhh

I have one of those WAP Thompson Chains sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust....
