CBP Hand Size Turquoise KJV Bible Review with Comparisons 

Thanks Arnold! This is one of my favorites. I'm glad you like it!

Thanks! I look forward to seeing it!

Thanks. Just to clarify, I do use them before reviewing, and the fact that it's a review copy has no bearing on my opinions. I always provide honest reviews regardless of how I got the Bible. I do buy Bibles to review, but I almost never get around to reviewing them. Getting a review copy obligates me to create the review, so this is the best model for me.

Update: I have not used this Bible as much as I should have liked, mostly because I have an ESV Pitt Minion that I take to church and use during the week. But it's a fine Bible in every respect and well worth every penny. I used it for a season while teaching Sunday School using the Westminster Confession of Faith, since the confession often relies on the wording of the KJV.

Philip Voerding Are the words in the reference column readable? thanx

@@javierdelgado1554 I'm nearsighted, so I have no trouble reading the reference column. It might be between 6 and 7 pt. font. The scripture itself is 9.5 font.

Philip Voerding Thank you. I just bought a cbp handsize text only in red letter but the red letter is a little bit annoying to me. Its not a consistent red and some places the red is very light. I was looking at the turquoise because its a black letter text and its a nicer read. I just love the cbp handsize because they are not too small or too big.

@@javierdelgado1554 I have the black letter CBP Turqoise. I've never been a red letter fan, though I can live with it. I like the Handsize for the same reason, and have the CBP handsize Thompson Chain which is my personal favorite reference bible, though it may not be the best one. I plan to but the Westminster Reference Bible, though probably as a hardcover. I had my children later in life, so I'm not able to buy real expense bibles, but I do want to own one goatskin bible eventually. CBP makes nice affordable bibles for people like me. Nit top of the line, but very nice nonetheless.

Philip Voerding I hear you. I wpuld love to have a Cambridge turquoise but the price is too high. I just got my cbp bible like a week ago in thd top grain cowhide and its really nice. Its a little stiffer and more sturdy than the calfskin but once its worked in it loosens up a bit. I regret not getting the turquoise handsize because the red letter does bug me a little. I also thought the font in the turquoise handsize was going to be too small but it looks very readable after watching some reviews.

Thanks! Mine's on the way too :-) I look forward to seeing your review.

Bible Buying Guide Right back at ya😉

How do people come by "review copies"? I've always wondered about that!

Hi Dylan. Many publishers have blogging programs that you can sign up for. Also, you can contact publishers through their websites. Most that I've dealt with want you to have a blog with a large following on both the blog and social media. It's best to start by reviewing Bibles you already own so you'll have example reviews.

I agree 100%

@@BibleBuyingGuide THANKS Randy.

It's not the same. The Turquoise doesn't match anything else. The Pitt Minions match the wide margins in all translations except for the KJV. The KJV wide margin is the same as the regular and personal size Concord.

Hi Chris2fur. I use Pigma Microns in 005. Most colors work well, but I prefer black, red, green, blue, purple, orange, and brown. GT Luscombe has several Bible marking kits with these colors.

Sure. In the mean time, I do have some caparisions in the CBP Turquoise video review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v_aZFkgIILM.html and in the written review: biblebuyingguide.com/cbp-center-column-reference-bible-red-letter-edition-review/

It's completely different. The Concord doesn't have reference or footnote keys in the text and it uses a different font and character count per line.

Hi Nicholas. I don't have anything for sale. Sorry.

Hi Gail. I have to keep review copies to do comparisons and answer questions on my website, in email, here on RU-vid, and on social media.

The KJV store sell them. You can get them from there. That is where mine is from.

It is sideways. I'm not sure what happened there. I'll see if I can fix that. I'd get the Concord. It has better materials and I prefer the thinner size, better maps, glossary, and dictionary. Also, I'm not sure this one is still available.

I don't know. I'll ask them the next time I talk to them. They need to print them again. It's an excellent Bible.

@@BibleBuyingGuide thank you very much for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it. That would be amazing!

They now have them again. It now includes a bible dictionary.
