Allan Nrsv Classic Reference Edition With Apocrypha: An Exceptional Binding
Allan Bible, Bible Review, NRSV
If you are a fine Bible enthusiast, you know that there has been one glaring omission from the Bibles that I have reviewed so far: Allan Bibles. If you dont know about Allan Bibles, they are perhaps the most highly regarded of all fine Bible publishers. When I asked for a review copy of an Allan Bible, I was politely told that they have been unable to meet demand for their Bibles, and so they do not give review copies. This is partially due to their size. Allan is a small outfit, especially compared to major publishers like Cambridge, Zondervan, and Crossway. But it is also because their customers rave about Allan bindings.
About a year ago, I started pinching pennies to save up to buy an Allan Bible to see for myself. When I found out that they were releasing a new NRSV with apocrypha, I decided to grab one. The first thing I discovered was that Allan Bibles do sell quickly! The only option I had was a red cover. This Allan NRSV Classic Reference Edition with Apocrypha is the subject of todays review.
Cover
You can buy Allan Bibles in a variety of goatskin covers. Allan is especially known for their Highland goatskin covers. Highland goatskin is a natural grain, which means an artificial grain isnt imprinted or stamped on it. I had seen so many people rave about Highland goatskin the goatskin of all goatskins! that if I was going to shell out for an Allan Bible, it had to be in a Highland goatskin cover.

Research Before You Buy
One of the best ways to research is to talk to people about their favorite Bibles. Ask them to explain which features they like most and why. For example, a site-reader, Jo, offered this advice: “The Life Application Study Bible, New Living Translation rather than New International Version , is the best Bible I’ve ever owned. Even my ministers have liked the translation. I think the NLT is easier to understand than the New International Version, and it costs considerably less.”
Ask Christians teachers, leaders, and believers you admire and respect about which Bibles they use. Get input from different points of view while carefully keeping in mind what’s most important to you. When you take time to research, you’ll gain the confidence and knowledge needed to make an informed decision.
Tips In Searching For A Quality Made Bible
The past week I have been searching for a new Bible. I’m really tired of replacing one every 4-5 years, even when they are warranted for life, so I’ve been researching Bible construction. I already knew I wanted a KJV and a NKJV, but the question was about the construction quality. After spending days on this, I thought I would share results of my findings in hope it might be of benefit to others. Seems that some of the best quality Bibles are lesser known to most of us, and all printed in England.

Rl Allan Vs Cambridge: A Comparison Of Luxury
I know what some of you are thinking. Why are you ignoring Schuyler? Well comparing Allan and Cambridge is close enough to comparing apples to oranges that I do not wish to throw a watermelon into the mix. Not a slight to Schuyler but their bulky bibles do on occasion remind me of a watermelon. I honestly enjoy a Schuyler I just personally prefer Allan and Cambrige to them.
I am comparing RL Allan and Cambridge because they are the two of the longest standing premium bible publishers in the world. Both are renowned for their fine bibles. Yet their bibles could not be any more different.
First some basic common traits of each:
R.L. Allan: established 1863
Cambridge: established 1591
Evangelicalbiblecom The Place To Buy Quality Bibles
The best place I have found to buy quality Bibles is evangelicalbible.com, which carries Bibles from Cambridge University Press, Crossway Bibles, the Trinitarian Bible Society, and the Lockman Foundation. It is also the exclusive distributor of Schuyler Bible Publishers and the official U.S. distributor of R.L. Allan Bibles, which many regard to be the best leather-bound Bibles available. I have personally been very impressed with Schuyler, however, having owned both a Schuyler Single Column Paragraph NKJV Bible and a Schuyler Quentel NKJV . Both are outstanding, high quality Bibles, and I would highly recommend them. Schuyler also offers the KJV, ESV, NASB, and NLT versions. As the webpage at evangelicalbible.com states, Schuyler Bibles are printed and bound in the Netherlands in one of the finest book binderies in Europe, Jongbloed. All Schuyler Bibles use only the finest materials in crafting its Bibles. From paper to natural grain Goatskin the Schuyler label has determined to carve out a niche which will establish it as a unique label among Bible publishers. For those of you who may not yet heard of Schuyler Bible Publishers, here is the information from their website:
A. All are printed in the Netherlands.
B. All have natural grain Goatskin.
C. All have Smyth sewn bindings.
D. All have perimeter stitching.

The Rl Allan Reference Esv
The R. L. Allan website announces that these are “probably the finest Bibles in the world.” Whoever inserted the word probably in that sentence should be nominated for the Nobel Prize for modesty. There is no question that Allan’s produces the finest Bibles in the world. Allan’s is the gold standard in fine binding. As far as these eyes are concerned, no one else comes close. During the recent Dark Age between the introduction of the English Standard Version in 2001 and the debut of Allan’s Reference ESV bound in highland goatskin in the summer of 2004, I used to day dream about an Allan’s-bound ESV. I would hold my Allan’s KJV in Cape Levant goatskin, rubbing my hands over its cover and inhaling the wonderful scent of the leather and art-gilt pages, imagining that when I opened it the ESV would miraculously appear. Finally, the notice appeared on the Allan’s site that an ESV was in the works. I received the latest print catalog and had the news confirmed. I remember showing the entry to Laurie. I wanted someone else to confirm that my eyes were not deceiving me. They weren’t.
But until the debut of the Allan’s Reference ESV, I was in a quandary. On the one hand, I was extolling the virtue of Allan’s bindings, but on the other I was urging people to check out the English Standard Version . Now, I have no such qualms. The best Bible binding on the market is also the best modern translation available.
