My very first premium Bible was the KJV Canterbury in marbled mahogany. While I stopped using the KJV as my everyday Bible many years ago, I now have a renewed appreciation for the beauty of language as well as for the physical beauty of the this Bible. I use it in my personal devotions every morning.
i recently ordered the Schuyler KJV Canterbury in Black Goatskin yesterday from EVB and i'm very much looking forward to it showing up and now, i will have all three types of KJV: the Turquoise, the Longprimer, and the Canterbury, which is super cool.
Great review Tim. Schuyler did an outstanding job. I have their KJV Treveris and really love it, although I do wish it had the 36gsm. That hardback edition you have looks awesome
I have the full yap black goatskin for over a year now the only two things I would personally like to see change is I would love larger print in the text and the concordance is so small it is useless to me. everything else is perfect.
A lot of people seem to love this Bible, the Black Pearl calfskin already seems sold out. I see they also have some Quentels with it though. Its a BEAUTIFUL design. That grain feature on the cover is really nice, seems they've been watching your videos over at Schuyler since they sent you that one 😁
I only wish they would have included notes on the pages. I actually think what they could do, is on the double column books they could have the note and reference layout as the Quentel and on the psalms they can change and have the notes and references together at the end of page like in the Thomas Nelson Sovereign.
Great video.... I also have a black perl Canterbury and really love it. My question to you is how do you think the calfskin on this will hold up compared to say a goatskin? I ask because I pre-ordered the personal size in the black perl as well but am second guessing only because the personal will be my carry bible and I wonder if it will look bad over time. Any thoughts you can share?
I wonder if one of these companies will ever make The One Year Bible in the premium and if it would sell well. I suppose they would have to partner with Tyndale. Does Tyndale make premium Bibles?
To be perfectly honest I am not sure. I have and use my CWMB KJV with 8 font that I have all my notes in and I do preach from it. I am now at the point that I put my notes and sermons on my Laptop. I am looking for a little bigger font now and it’s between the Turquoise and the Canterbury which reads better? Oh, I also would consider the Topaz! Any help would be much appreciated my friend! Thanks again I really enjoy the insights you give 🙏
Sold every premium I had due to tough times but I’m determined to open some again. Thinking Concord as it seems a great in between size. Notice any major fading in yours?
For me personally, Schuyler continues to have 3 huge design problems: 1. With the cross references at the bottom, they should split the references into two columns as well. Left side references for left column and right side references for right column. Having them run across the whole bottom of the page is very frustrating to find the reference you’re looking for. 2. On the full yapps the cross is off center. When the yapp isn’t trained, it’s centered. But once the yapp starts folding down (as it ought to do), then the cross becomes off center. They should be using the tool line as their centering guide, not the edge of the leather. 3. They are going way too far with all the blue under silver gilding on so many bibles. Blue/silver is a cheaper look. I get that it’s modern and offers other aesthetics. But a full yapp KJV (especially with drop caps etc) screams old world/classic. It deserves red under gold art gilt. Of all the colored art gilts out there, blue continues to be the cheapest/least appealing looking. Put blue/silver on a navy NIV ;) blue/silver on a black Pearl full yapp KJV??? Just… no. :)
Man so weird the one they have on their page is not like the one you are presenting here, like the leather cover does not fold nicely after the eddges of the pages like yours does, theirs is pretty much fat. mmmmmmm

This has to be my favorite Bible of yours. ❤
The Schuyler Canterbury in black pearl looks gorgeous. I have it in slate grey with red liner and just love this Bible!
Thanks for the information. Really trying to decide what Schuyler to get as my first. God bless and keep the videos coming. Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the video Tim! I have the KJV black pearl calfskin, and I absolutely love it.
Nice!
Your reviews are a major blessing. God bless you my friend.
Thanks, you too!
Great review Tim. Schuyler did an outstanding job. I have their KJV Treveris and really love it, although I do wish it had the 36gsm. That hardback edition you have looks awesome
I love that hardback!
Excellent review! ❤️
Thanks, Mom!
my all time favourite KJV Bible..
It's SOOOOO good!
Do Battle review !!

I get the money for one and this may just be my one to be honest.

Hahaha... I wondered if they selected this one specifically for me!
so many great products from Schuyler. They certainly don't make deciding easy.
No joke!

That black pearl calfskin is beautiful!
GORGEOUS!!!

I tend to think that calfskin shows wear and tear a bit more than goatskin... it's bit softer.
I need that one
The cowhide over board was my favorite ... hope they offer it again!
I think it's going to be around for a long time!
Is this size too big for chair reading?
I don’t think so.

Is this vs the concord for me
Hi Tim. What a nice of Bible, the Cambridge turquoise or the Canterbury? Ty…
Tough decision... which do you prefer?
To be perfectly honest I am not sure. I have and use my CWMB KJV with 8 font that I have all my notes in and I do preach from it. I am now at the point that I put my notes and sermons on my Laptop. I am looking for a little bigger font now and it’s between the Turquoise and the Canterbury which reads better?
Oh, I also would consider the Topaz!
Any help would be much appreciated my friend! Thanks again I really enjoy the insights you give 🙏
I’m in the same boat. I’ve narrowed it down to the Turquoise, Longprimer 53 and the Canterbury…now I’m stuck in indecision 😂
That Bible looks awesome!
It's great!
Does this one have self pronouncing text?
Love my black pearl!
Aye, matey!
Sold every premium I had due to tough times but I’m determined to open some again. Thinking Concord as it seems a great in between size. Notice any major fading in yours?
Nope... love it!
is it red letter in Revelation?

Just got my hands on the NIV foundation study bible anyway you can review it please??
I don't have one!
Got one. Note the wait. 😩
Looks like the newer edition finally dropped the self-pronouncing text?
Not sure when that change happened.
Man so weird the one they have on their page is not like the one you are presenting here, like the leather cover does not fold nicely after the eddges of the pages like yours does, theirs is pretty much fat. mmmmmmm
You might be looking at one without full yapp.
I can't understand KJV.
I get that. There are great options out there (NIV, CSB, NLT) that are much easier to read.
