    Would love to see a crash test video after 6 months of use. Honestly, I would love to see these all around for premiums as to how they wear in!

      Agreed. The “I’ve read this cover to cover 3x” video of various Bibles would be awesome. Though, that would be unnecessary for a Schuyler goatskin. My PSQ looks perfect after about ten reads.

    I prefer the Wellington leather over the Horween leather. To my fingers, the Wellington feels smoother, softer, and possibly more durable. Both leathers are excellent and I own many other items made with a variety of Horween leathers. Schuyler is releasing three new calfskin cover options for the Heritage: Sienna, Olive Green, and Prussian Blue. The Olive has a marbled/mottled look similar to their Desert Camel. All are available for pre-order.

    I received mine yesterday. Your review of the Hertage Edition, and specifically the Wellington version were key factors in my decision making process. I am thrilled now that I have it in my hands. Thank you! I now have the perfect reading Bible -text size/format, the materials aesthetics and tactile experience are exactly what I was looking for.

    I definitely prefer goatskin leather over Wellington or Horween. I just love the softness and floppies of a goatskin cover, just feels so premium. That is also a beautiful Bible though

    Just a suggestion for your reviews; include the weight of the Bible. The information on Amazon is often incorrect in that it includes the weight of the box. I strongly prefer Bibles that weigh less than 2.5 pounds.

    A creeds and confessions in Wellington leather might be "the one". I love that publishers are upping the game to the point you have bibles that you really have to ask yourself "how could this be better?" These wellington editions are essentially what I'd ask a rebinder to do.

    The Bible is the most priceless possession of the human race.
    “Spare No expense”
    Crafted to perfection, indulge in elegant luxury
    Wellington leather
    Fine smooth beauty
    Fragile to your finger tips
    “Oh the joys of existence.”

    Folks should understand that patina or "aged over time" takes years. I used the prior Heritage in Horween daily to read through cover to cover as well as sermon prep for a year and other than a few dings it looked no different at the end of the year. I never stored it nor transported it in it's box, it was always bare & unprotected. So if you buy this Wellington, chances are it will take years to be dramatically different.

    Tim, I so enjoyed this video, but have a question regarding NKJV. You recently posted a questionnaire asking folks to choose if they felt the NKJV needed to be dated, or the NKJV notes ( I don't remember the details right now). I got concerned. Is there something wrong with the NKJV that needs to be updated?
    I have invested quite a bit into purchasing premium NKJV s recently. Has the quality of the translation been found with errors?

    No doubt this is one of the most beautiful Bibles I've seen. I would love to have one of these but I just can't reasonably buy it, for in my opinion it is way overpriced even if you cut down the price to 30% off. It's just my opinion, that's a lot of money in the Philippines.

    Is Wellington leather Horween leather

    Thank You.
    The retail is $399.99 for the Wellington Leather.

    Do you think Crossway would ever branch out into other translations, such as the KJV? I remember one of the three Tim’s in the most recent Three Tim’s video broaching the idea of Crossway branching out and Frisch started to say something, then stopped. I’ve been wondering about that.
