KJV Clarion Reference Bible, Black Calf Split Leather, KJ484:X Black Calf Split Leather Leather Bound – July 28, 2011

I love this Bible. I want to read through the Bible this year, and the paragraph format makes it much easier to read for long periods of time. I usually read one or two chapters and then have to stop. But with this format, I find myself reading 10 or more chapters in one sitting and having a hard time putting the Bible down. At first, I thought the lack of in text headings would bother me, since I like to know what section I am reading about. But I found that the lack of text teadings helps me to say focused and makes the Bible read more like a novel. The text headings have always signaled bor me that I have finished a section, which akes me want to stop reading. The lack of in-text headings in this Bible, keeps the text together without any signs that would have me slow down or stop.I also love the Reader's Companion in the back of the Bible. It is a mixture of a dictionary and concordnace. I have used it several times, and it is very helpful. I prefer it to just a concordance which is what the other Clarion versons have. I'm glad I got the KJV since it is my favroite translation and the only one with the Reader's Companion.I am concerned aboit the binding though. I like the calf split cover, but the glue in the binding is already starting to crack. I am only in Exedous, and am afraid the Bible will fall apart on me by the time I get to Revelations. I do like the fact that Cambridge has a warranty, and will replace the Bible if it comes to that. But if I read through the entire Bible, I want to keep that same copy, not a replacement copy. I wish Cambridge would use better glue , especially since these Bible are so expensive. A warranty is nice, but making things right the first time is even better.Dispite the binding concerns, I love this Bible and would recommend it to anyone wou wants to sit down and really read through the Bible.

The NKJV Pitt Minion Split Calfskin exudes the quality that Cambridge has been known. Having premium bibles in my possession, this does not fail to impress. Straight out of the box, pages open readily, turn readily and reads easily for senior eyes with bifocals of course. It will be used for a variety of purposes, reading, study, preaching and teaching all due to its portability. So inspite of digital formats in my gadgets, nothing beats an Uber quality hard copy of God's eternal Word.

Probably one of the best bibles out there to date. I was really pleased with the craftsmanship. I believe more bibles need to be single column, speaking for myself single column bible reading has transformed my devotional time. I am more likely to envision the scripture without being distracted by all the notes and spaces, this way you have a more of a cohesive format to read it just as is. It makes a tremendous difference.I have held alot of bibles in my time and this one is nearly perfect, unencumbered! Simplicity is best.My future hope is that The Clarion Cambridge publishers would make this bible with 11 pt font or higher I am sure alot more readers would be attracted to it. I highly recommend this single column KJV, its one of a kind and worth the price.

AMAZING.... Such a good quality bible , i was a little hastey about buying bc i heard the font is really small, but tbh its not that small its a 7 point or sumthing like that and the way the paper is and how crisp the font is i think its easyer to read then my 8 point font bible , def amazing quality lays flat when opened right out of the box from genesis to revelation, soft good quality.leather and paper amazing concordance , best bible iv ever owned 100x exceeded my expectations recomend 100% if your looking for a quality compact bible.UPDATE:Sold it to get a goatskin one but this one is better quality then the goatskin one in my opinion , if you add your own art gilt to this bible which is super easy just look on YouTube then you have a better bible then the goatskin one atleast the brown goatskin one in my opinion so I will be buying this again for the 2nd time to use as my take to work bible because it is that great of a carry around bible if your looking for quality in a small package that packs a big punch

I have an old Cambridge that I love, this one was a gift for my Wife. It has the same quality that I have always appreciated. The leather is high quality, pages are crisp.The main complaint in the reviews seems to be the text bleed through - but I can tell you this - after years of using mine, I had to grab it and look at it to see ‘Oh yeah, I guess it does a little’ … so clearly you can get used to it fast, and it’s not a big deal. It hasn’t bugged me in over 10 years, and I don’t recall it being a problem when I first got it. This new Cambridge is the same quality, and my Wife hasn’t complained about the pages at all. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a quality Bible that lasts.
