Something important to note, leather is naturally acidic and contains oils. While this edition is meant to be more rugged, I would not recommend storing your bookmark for long periods in the Bible. The oils will bleed through the paper causing a grease stain, and the natural acidity of the leather will burn the pages, leaving a brown area where the bookmark was stored. Speaking as someone who collects vintage Bibles, and has seen this happen in the past. I don't know if this is a synthetic leather, or if Schuyler some how neutralized the acidity, but I would err on the side of caution.
Wonderful review! Soooo helpful for me! The truth is, until we don’t give an extra look and put our eyes to learn more about something, we’ll surely miss the details. And that’s what many times we should be interested about. Thank you!!
Great review Tim. I want one. Would be great to carry to church and put in my suitcase when we travel. Wouldn’t have to worry about the pages getting crinkled. I really wish they would do an NLT though please Schuyler please
What’s cool about the zipper PSQ is that you can through it in your bag or backpack with out putting it in a zipper case bag. I take my Bible with me all day as I read in my car a lot. My RL Allan have to be put in a small zipper case so as to not be torn or damaged.
Had to watch the review since I’m buying one from the group on Facebook. My how things have changed eh? 🤭 Thanks as always for a helpful review. Blessings ✝️
Tyndale makes a NLT Compact Giant Print Zipper Bible, Filament-Enabled Edition, grey leather like.... I wonder if it's a great Bible when one is on a budget and wants a compact zipper Bible?
I would love to see it in a full size edition. I hate when I leave church and it's raining and I keep thinking about having to protect the pages from the rain.
They could’ve done ribbons pretty easily if they closed the zipper at the bottom instead of the top. But honestly I think their choice is good, a personal size never struck me as something that would need more than a single bookmark.
I ordered a black one with a gold cross! I already have a blue NIV PSQ and a purple NKJV PSQ. Having one with a zipper sounds great for throwing in a bag. I’m kind of disappointed the pre-order got pushed back another month, but I guess you can’t rush perfection.
I love Bibles with zippers. Wish some other Bible publishers brought them out. Unfortunately I am not a fan of Schuyler Bibles! I know- 😱😬🫢😮 shock horror! However when I hear NASB and red - well, I could change my mind. 🤗💕
The issue isn't that it is paste-down, it's that schuyler didn't make that clear. I've shared that information with a few people, and they've all been disappointed. I'm glad I know now, before mine arrives, but if I didn't know before it arrived, I would have been very disappointed with schuyler. I think it will ultimately hinder reviews when it officially releases because people are unaware
Unfortunately, I have owned other zipper edition Bibles, printed in the Netherlands to the same degree, but overtime there is a separation of the cover from the block. Problem is, this happened in less than a year, with daily use. I am interested to see how this holds up over time, because the price tag is too heavy for me to just trust that this one will hold up any differently than the one I previously owned. Great review.
They must have a high level of confidence in the quality of their product. Especially since all their bibles are covered by a 5 year warranty. No way there will be problem in a year or so here :-)
I saw that the kjv personal size Canterbury is going to have a full yapp option. I wonder if the psq in other translations will come out??? Do you know 😄
I’m with Becca, the British tan is on my birthday wishlist! Have you ever compared or reviewed study bibles? I’m a homeschool mom who teaches from a single column ESV, but want to move to a study Bible for teaching my kids (all under age 8). I’m looking at the ESV archeological study Bible or the regular study Bible? Any thoughts or recommendations? I would be reading the notes myself to aid in my teaching, not for the kids to read themselves.
Looks to be a solid option! Would like to see those bookmarks made available separately; the Zipper PSQ could benefit from more than one bookmark, and also for elsewhere!! AAAND I'm trying Very Hard NOT to make some silly/lewd comment involving leather and zippers. This is a Bible channel, after all!! ADDENDUM: Oops.
Do you know if schuyler will release a nlt for the zipper additions, trying to decide if I should pass on the upcoming quentel and hold out for the zipper if they do decide to release one..
You sold yourself for Schuyler bibles. Yes they are pretty nice. Truly Gods gift, as I praise god with all my heart…I have more then my share… of Schuyler bibles. But dang, could you give god some praise. You say the same about every Schuyler bible even in comparison. I don’t go to church, but love the word, not just the pretty but the ugly. I want deeper don’t you. I guess almost everything has a cost. You have a gift to reach people, but you also have been given free will. So why?
