I have a kjv study back in bonded leather that I've had since 1993. A few years ago it started showing some serious wear and decided to get a new bible. Bought another kjv study bible in bonded leather. Only difference is this was the second edition. Same notes, different layout. Maybe some bonded leather bibles are made better than others. 🤷

Those of us over a certain age are out here like "Corinthian leather!" It looks like a nice layout and wouldn't strain my bifocals. Nice review!

nice layout on text block, but I usually don't get bonded leather. I picked this exact same text block NIV with a Teal fake leather cover with all heading in Blue for only $5. It's cover is kinda plasticie leather type but soft and flexiable ...I find the funniest feeling covers are on the NET bibles...thanks for sharing take care

Yeah it’s a pretty nice text block and I can see bonded leather working out for some, but it would not be my preference either

Is it a glued binding? If so, I wonder if the crinkling in the middle is caused by the glued binding versus a smythe sewn binding due to the thinner paper. I may be way off, just a guess. Thank you for the review .

I think it’s sewn to lay flat, so pretty strange that it’s like that I think. No problem it’s not a fancy choice but I want to bring value to everyone showing different options you may not see on KZitem otherwise

So i think the crinkling is related to the paper manufacturing process, as opposed to the binding, it might be something to do with moisture content or similar i can't remember, i also can't remember if the term refers to the paper being crinkled/uneven itself *or* if it refers to the sound/feel it makes when turned (particularly as a chunk of a block) but the technical term is 'cockling' iirc (it sounds so onomatopoeic i like to think it's referring to the sound haha) I think some people consider it a defect because they don't like the sound/feel (because you can *feel* it too) but i don't think it affects the structural integrity of the book block/binding. As for me, i absolutely LOVE the sound and feel of cockling pages, i could turn bunches of cockled book blocks back and forth over and over with contentment experiencing how nice it feels and sounds hahaha. but that might just be me

i lol'd at the intro haha. looks like a nice bible, i like the simple clean design of the spine and silver gilding, modern and modest. just for info, i don't have extensive experience with bonded leather myself but have heard its a type that actually ends up falling to pieces pretty bad in a lot of cases after a certain amount of use, so normally not sure it will be too hard wearing/long lasting potentially contrary to initial impressions - i'm just saying what i've seen in general though so OTOH this and other BL bibles could still hold up decently well for enough time for the price (and even if it does fall apart after a few years of good use, it's cheap for a reason ey so not unexpected if you put it through it's paces). thanks for the review (i don't suppose you know why NIV text is indented in certain bits do you - like on the first page of genesis in this one in the review, it's intentional it must be but i don't know why they did it this way)

Yeah I hear from more and more people that bonded leather isn’t good, or that maybe it’s improving. This was the first bonded leather Bible I’ve had experience with so I have no comparison. As for the wearing that could be true too, again not sure 😅😂 I’m personally not actively using this one so it’ll probably just look like that. lol As for your NIV question, good catch, I didn’t even notice! I am not sure either might have to look into that. Sorry to not be much help! 😬 I’m newer to all the variety of Bibles, trying to learn as I go with reviewing

@@TheBibleReviewer yeah, ig its just cheap so after a certain amount of use it wears quicker than others so is fine for the price and if the buyer isn't expecting it to last a lifetime (or a decade of daily use). lol no problem re: NIV, i was just curious if you're aware cos i'd noticed it in some of them, it looks a little odd but specifically because it looks odd you'd think there must be a reason for it, and i've only ever seen it in NIV's so must be a unique aspect that they (zondervan?) brings to the table in their formatting to communicate something about the text that other translations haven't done. but ye no problem not knowing i will try and look it up myself if i remember. i've enjoyed the reviews i've seen of yours so far (inc. because there's a variety inc. cheaper ones among nicer pricier ones) pls keep them up!
