    Which current bible publisher makes the longest lasting binding?

    Not talking about any specific version just which one holds up the longest to regular use.

    Have heard that Cambridge, Church Bible Publishers, Allan, and Schuyler are very good.

    Any better or comparable?

    Some might have a comment or two about regular use.

    :p

    However, I can only say that the heirloom Bibles in my Bible collection that have been handed down to my stewardship show different levels of use. Apparently, my relatives were single Bible users, for the most part. Their Bibles in my stewardship are well used.

    The National Bible Press, Philadelphia, 1955.

    A. J. Holman Co., Philadelphia, 1942.

    National Bible Press, Philadelphia, 1926.

    The John C. Winston Co, Philadelphia, n.d.

    The World Publishing Company, Cleveland, 1913.

    Nice collection with family ties.

    All of those with leather bindings and heavy use?
