    I’m beginning to think people either
    A. Skimmed the OP and didn’t pay attention or
    B. They are purposely ignoring the fact that I said this thread was not about specific bible translations.

    I have several from Local Church Bible Publishers, due to affordability and binding quality. I especially like TBS' Westminster Study Bible. I like its type and the reference system. Schuyler had a very nicely bound Westminster that I bought, but I heard it has now been discontinued.
    Then I like the ESVSB. I have a two tone bonded copy of it. I like the notes and helps in it.

    LCBP produces fantastic quality, I love the way they build and bind their bibles, I wish publishers like Nelson, Holman, and others would learn something from LCBP.

    I have looked at the TBS Westminster Reference bible, I like the way they do the references to the sides as opposed to a center column, I find center columns to be distracting.

    Personally I think publishers like Schuyler, Cambridge, and R.L. Allan are overrated, yes they produce good quality in terms of leather choice, but I think their actual binding methods are mediocre and their typography, typesetting, and style choices are horrendous. I was just talking to someone recently about this, I cannot stand bible's that have typography and layout that looks like it's from the 1920s, I can't stand bold eye straining style fonts, with off white/yellowish paper with no color.

    I am very impressed with the look and color of Nelson's King James Study bible, it looks awesome with it's paper and with the full color. I like bibles that have a more modern "feel" to the style and typography.

    I love the new font Nelson has released in their comfort print bibles, while I hate the style of fonts and layout from say the Old Scofield Reference Bible.

    Schuyler's Westminster is the same type as TBS.
    I recently got the Cambridge Paragraph Bible for daily reading, and I like it very well.

    I actually have been using the King James Study bible in full color from Nelson; previously it was called the Liberty Annotated Study Bible. I really love it and of all the Study bibles I have used I have found it most helpful. The center column margins have a lot of alternative translations of words/definitions of words/literal translations/etc and I have found them extremely helpful, the notes are also pretty fundamental and helpful, not that I agree with everything they say..but the KJV study bible from Nelson is a whole lot better than say a Scofield or Ryrie in my opinion. I know some people don’t like study bibles and that’s ok, just realize it’s not a whole different than hearing your Pastor teach on a specific verse, I understand that the word of God is the final authority, but let’s face it, we don’t understand bible culture as well as others and we can benefit greatly from men of God who have gone before us and spend years studying, we don’t need to reinvent the wheel.

    That is the binder here in Michigam, lansing, correct? I have heard their calf skin editions are excellent if you want the Kjv!

    Glad to see this thread is still going.

    I've bought two bibles since my last post. So I think I should be done for a while.

    I bought a Large Print Ultrathin CSB in goatskin. Just had to get back to something with center column references. I guess you could say I'm institutionalized.

    And I bought a Spurgeon Study Bible, since I couldn't resist it at half off. Got the inexpensive cloth over board, which is quite charming. The notes are good, but there are some areas without coverage. It's definitely more of a devotional tool than a serious study bible.

    The notes are based upon sermons Spurgeon, the prince pf Preachers, correct?

    Yep. And while they are substantial, on passages where he did not preach or write, no notes.

    Well I have a Thompson-Chain Reference Bible. that is one busy Bible and the two I use the most, the Nelson large print and the Holman palm size... But something troubles me, way back when, when I picked up a KJV there was the address to the King... I was looking at my wife's Mothers dog eared KJV the other day and there it is, why isn't it in mine?... Why did they take it out?... Brother Glen:)
