Thanks for the shout out! Flowa! Pronounced Like flow plus ‘uh!”. It’s my karaoke name my friends gave me when I rap beastie boys haha great review! Supple leather
Allan wins hands down for the text block and cover , every CBP bible i have the inside liner has failed, they are all flaking off, cheaper for me to buy from Allan's bibles, good video thanks
@@BibleFanatics mine started coming apart at the synthetic tab and where the “yapp” would fold over the block typically(it has no yapp its a Notetaker synthetic liner one). I got maybe 5 years with at home minimal use……it was 60 something bucks when I got it so not too bad.
@@bstring3967 OH wow that is a weird place for it to start coming apart at. I agree for the price they will give you the use you need for the money. But is disappointing to hear it happened in 5 years when many get these bibles expecting them to be lifers.
I agree and I like the old type settings, specifically my Cameo, but where I think comfort print pulls ahead is the overall cleanness of the page. There are no pronunciation marks, and footnotes and superscripts are unobtrusive. There's also (typically) more space between the lines which allows the eyes to breathe while reading, in a sense. But the older type setting does give you that old fashioned feel, and that's hard to quantify. It just feels "right" sometimes.
I got one of the first ones they made, but gave it away. There was far too much glare on the page, the page was bright white. It was like looking straight into a lightbulb. If CBP made this with paper that didn't glare, it would be better.
I do agree sometimes the glare of their paper can be crazy. I don't like having to adjust the bible a ton to read it. Sometimes and I mean rarely you will catch a run where they do not have glare. But you never know it when ordering one.
@@BibleFanatics FYI, I have an old LCBP 215 that is probably 10 years old and the liner (which is synthetic) is starting to peel right next to the book block. The only thing I could think to do is tape it for now. Maybe a rebind in the future.
It would be great to find out WHICH Bible ( ignore translation issue for now) Such as: -hardcover v.s. "leather" ( none of this goat-skin nonsense. I am NOT paying $400 for a single Bible.) -print size -size of the Bible -footnotes -commentary -good paper ( i.e. not super think)
@@BibleFanatics I like having a commentary. -Cookie-cutter translating is laziness. ( Matt. 5:14) -Correct translation matters. ( see Matt. 7:7) -Avoid reading that promote WICKED and anti-God ideas. ( Mark 7:19 & Gal. 2:21) -the need to be honest about history for a commentary -the need to show, and rebuke, the fact that there ARE heretical ideas that many promote as the "truth of God".
