Holman Handcrafted Collection Overview 

When Lifeway aka Holman entered the premium space with the first CSB VbV Wide Margin, it was a breath of fresh air. When they expanded the line into the Holman Handcrafted Collection, it was clear they were in it for the long haul. As the Collection unfolded one thing stood out, each bible was very different from the previous. Different construction choices, different liners, different goatskins. This but of unpredictability frustrated some, but is it truly a problem? Let’s take a closer look at the Collection so far (this review does not include the KJV Single Column because that has project been delayed).

Love the reviews you obviously put in a lot of work

"Jarring" yellow paper?! How dare you! I love the Ancient Faith SB too. The red accents, decorative drop caps, CREAM COLORED paper, and of course the notes are awesome. Great point about the spines needing more information.

How interesting. I’ve got the Ancient Faith and Verse by Verse. The Ancient Faith is just beautiful. When you open it and lie it flat, the art gilding along the sides looks amazing. It looks striped with all the different colours thrown up by the different pages. A really beautiful bible and I love the creamy coloured pages, interior design and content. 😊🇦🇺🙏

I would imagine it's kind of difficult to source materials and have them be consistent in the number of Bibles that they produce. These are excellent looking Bibles however they are a couple of clicks above

I have an HCSB in super large print - those ones you showed are a bit useless (for me!) because the print is so small - they don't do me any good if I can't see them - I would totally buy one if in super large print

It would be interesting to see if as far as the CSB Study Bible goes if it is consistent construction wise across that particular product. I wonder if that was a mistake or they actually did that for strength

I don't know why these publishers feel like they need to have a symbol for their version. The CSB's symbol looks like the Hazzard waste sign

It have king dictionary of the kjv

What do you think of Thomas Nelson NKJV compact single column reference genuine leather Bible?

... just put CSB! How hard is that? When publishers set themselves apart so much as to use symbols, it's hard to take them seriously.

Handcrafted ?? Each hand made is different and unique.

You're comparing single instances of different study bibles against each other. If you really want to check for consistency, you should buy about 10 HHC Ancient Faith Study Bibles and see if those 10 are consistent. Then, once you're done, send one to me (and 9 other subs... I guess). 😋
