I got mine about 2 months ago, also. Was torn between this and the Legacy, but found this one more than half off on Amazon, so went with it. So glad I did. Perfect size. I also love the simplicity of the look with no gold letters or borders. Matthew everhard did a review and said it’s almost like a handy size wide margin and I use his journal reference notes technique with it. The only thing I’d change is the ribbons. I don’t need 4 and they are kind of dinky. Oh well
This was an incredibly helpful review. I have watched a number of reviews on this and yours was so clear as an actual user, direct comparisons for perspective really helped me. I’m now much more confident in this upcoming purchase, I’ll be buying this Bible. Thanks and glad I found your page!
Great review. I appreciated the size comparison- that has helped me understand that the thickness is deceiving. I ordered the new EvangelicalBible custom ESSV Heritage in Sienna calfskin (arriving late this month). If I’m not in love with it I’ll look at returning it for this. Thanks!
I love this text block. I ordered the Prussian Blue Calfskin version. I cannot wait until it arrives. I too would love it in red letter, but you can win them all :)
@@nateginsterblum thanks. It’s a month out from delivery. Tim Wildsmith did a review on it, if you want to see it and the olive green and the orange one, as he got his hands on early copies.
This is as an amazingly helpful review, it opened my eyes to so many areas I didn’t know about this Bible. I’ve been comparing the stridon & preacher’s bible. My favorite is my legacy heritage purple goatskin but the font has become too small. Was leaning toward 10 font but after seeing this 9.25 it doesn’t seem too small. Thank you sm!!! Also wondering if the w leather is soft (squishy) or firm? TY!!
Hey there, I understand your complaint on the ribbons, however, this Bible does not have a paste down liner but rather edge lining with a leather inner lining.
@@nateginsterblum ooooh! I saw another video that stated paste down and I was like “seriously??” Gonna have to grab this one thanks!!! Btw this was BY FAR the best on depth review of this Bible. Lots of great details and “things to notice.” Your vid (and then Confirming its edge lined!) convinced me that this is the one for me. Thanks brother!!

Would love to see this compared to the clarion.
Thanks for the suggestion, however, I don’t have a Clarion available

So glad you liked it! I’ll have a new video out soon
I have the goatskin and it's my daily reader. I love the layout, and the line spacing makes it a joy to read.
Awesome and agreed!
How is this Bible for note taking? Love the margins but is bleeding a problem?
It’s a great note taking Bible just use a pen that won’t bleed through such as pigma micron.

Man, that’s wild I didn’t know it came in calfskin. Hope you like it

Great review. I never realized it is thinner than it seems.
It is!

Glad it was helpful for you. The leather is firm and pretty dense. The stridon is a great option as well.
Have you had any issues with the paper being 28 gsm?
Yes a page tore today
@@nateginsterblum I’m sorry to hear that. Thanks for your response and an excellent review!
It's real classy!
How can I order this Bible? I have researched it bur can't find it. Can you help ?
Yes! Here’s a link
www.crossway.org/bibles/esv-heirloom-bible-heritage-edition-wl/
Too bad its in the ESV translation, I was never able to warm up to the ESV.
I can’t believe the horrific ribbons and a paste down liner for this price

Comparing an RL Allan to a 30 dollar Bible was over the top.
