I don't look for these editions specifically, but every once in a while I stumble upon them. I love cleaning them up a little and getting them back into fighting shape. Hopefully someone will pick them up and continue using them for years to come. Do all Bibles look like this after years of use? No. But it's neat to see the ones that do.
The best Bible out there, is the one you read! May God bless you and your Bible studies!

As a long-time Bible collector with dozens of premium editions, my biggest wish is that I could have found just ONE beautiful Bible at the start of my life with Christ and read only that one Bible for all my years. Your video reminds me strongly of that wish, that I would've had a Bible just like this - used to the point of falling apart over many decades. I find ones like this at used book stores all the time and I feel sad that they end up there because the real owner obviously passed away and their children probably sold all of the books to a used store for pennies just to get rid of stuff. I buy those and take care of them until I can find people who would appreciate them.

This is definitely a 1937. The printer was Humphrey Milford and he retired in 1945. The SS Edition depending on the decade had small nuances. Some of them had the book name at the top of the page broken down with pronunciation marks, others (like this) did not. A rule of thumb is If you have an SS Edition it predates the 50's. I love how they had the chronology (probably from Ussher) in the center column. This is something World and Collins did as well. The cyclopedic concordance really made this a nice bible. Allan for a little while added it to their 53, would be nice if they did it again. Though Allan at this point is mostly meme tier due to ridiculous behavior from the social media bible groups essentially making idols out of limited editions. Longprimer is probably my favorite vintage though I love Brevier, Pica, Fontana, Iona, etc., as well when they were done well. Even those text types had nuances amongst different editions.

I have a keepsake Bible that belonged to my aunt who was a missionary to Africa for many years. The Bible is shredded beyond rebinding but it’s by far the loveliest bible I have the privilege to own. A treasure 💝
