My Premium KJV Bible Buying Guide

Short answer:
Look at Cambridge Bibles. You can get them at one of several places:

(1) evangelicalbible.com (I have bought several here)
(2) thekjvstore.com
(3) amazon.com (can find used if patient)
(4) ebay

 
Background:
So you want a new KJV Bible with a leather cover that's easy to read and carry?  There are tons of options, but for myself I seem to like Cambridge, especially their Concord.  I Have or had one of the following:  Allan, Cambridge and Church Bible Publishers (CBP). Another option Ive considered is TBS (Trinitarian Bible Society).  However, it's not the cover that matters, but what's written on the pages inside!  Still, when one goes looking for Bible that will last, it's things like the printers, the binding and paper used that one starts to consider.

With Cambridge, I like the fact that they include the Translators to the Reader, which few publishers do nowdays. However, it's the text layout itself that is much easier to read.  The Allan uses the Oxford text which is an older style font and layout. Both Allan and Cambridge use Royal Jongbloed printers in the Netherlands, which are reknown for their quality.

My current KJV Bible collection includes several Cambridge and one Allan which I'm not sure I will keep.  My collection, which includes more than those in the photos below, fill one row of a bookshelf.

From top to bottom:
Allan Ruby 103 reference edition 
Cambridge Concord personal edition
Cambridge Concord w/calfskin full yapp cover

Here is the Allan Ruby and Concord viewed from the top

Concord - Personal sized and full compared

My 1st Concord from a few years ago, which has a goatskin cover but not the yapp.  The cover is very "floppy", which can be kinda like carrying a wet noodle 😀

 

Yes, that makes 4 Cambridge Concords.  I think Im done for now. If I had to only have one, it would probalby be the Personal sized Concord.  A leather cover is nice to hold on to, but a very readable text that I have no reason to question, is easily carried and pages turn easy are the things that matter to me the most.  The Personal sized Concord can be found < $50 on Amazon, which is probably why I have 2...
