I am looking for another "high end" ESV Bible for use at church. I have one now I like, an Allan Goatskin. I would like slightly larger print, but want the same level of quality. Please give me suggestions!

and that is quite a load to be carrying into the pulpit.
Hah! I have noticed the Anglicized nature as well. My Allan is also older than the last (2016) ESV slight revision, so occasional changes are noticed.One word of "caution" ... I use the Allan Goatskin... It's an "Anglicized" Bible - but other than spelling words in an Anglicized way (i.e., honour) I had never noticed a difference. A few months ago, as I was nearing the conclusion of our series through Mark, I got to ch14, specifically where Jesus tells Peter that before the cock crows the latter would have denied him. Anyway, after that service, one of my elders came up to me to tease me... "Do you have a problem with the word "rooster?" Only then did I realize that the American ESVs all say "rooster" while my Anglicized ESV said "cock."
Here is a photo of a NKJV Quentel taken in natural light on the porch. Slightly overcast day, but in my experience with a couple of Schuyler Bibles the opacity of the paper is very good. They do have line matching which helps a lot. I've yet to find a Bible that does not have some bleed through. Even Oxford and Cambridge from the early part of the last century into the '50s-'60s.It seems like the Schuyler Quentel is what I am looking for. Does anyone here have one? Are the pages not bleed through as they say?
Allen is now selling on their site high end from Crossway, that look really nice for about 150.00!I am looking for another "high end" ESV Bible for use at church.

What is an Omega? My father had a watch by that name, but what Bible is that?I have an Omega, and it is indeed very nice as well as a good size. I also have a full yapp, art gild rebind by Diego Caloca, and it is just fabulous (but the wait time.....). I keep telling myself I am "done" accumulating "high end" bibles, but my resolve is weak.

Omega was a good watch, makes me feel old since I remember them well. Of course Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet. For great detailed reviews on the high end Bibles that Evangelical Bible sells check out Bible Design Blog. His archives cover many of them as well as custom rebinds.What is an Omega?

Thanks, and that Esv verse by verse leather bible for 80.00 caught my eye.Google can be your friend.

I get it, Jon. Love the yapp. Wish I had one with a full yapp!Wow, John, your last name is very appropriate for this discussion. (Can I get a laugh anyone?? Or am I the only one who gets this. That would be sad).
It looks like the Schuyler does have the 2016 text:HOLD UP. Best to get the 2016 text version. https://www.crossway.org/bibles/esv-omega-thinline-reference-bible-80th-anni-gskn/
wait for this. And I doubt Allan has the updated text, not sure about Schuyler
How much did that cost you, if you don't mind sharing?I also have a full yapp, art gild rebind by Diego Caloca, and it is just fabulous (but the wait time.....).

Tell me about it. I've gotten to the point with my Stargardts where I have to shine a flashlight on anything to read it. I have a Schuyler I don't really use any more because I need good backlighting to read. I recommend the Bible, though, as it is beautiful, smells really good, and has the Confessions built in to boot!It looks like the Schuyler Quentel has 11 point font. Would that be the largest and most readable in a high end Bible? I've reached the point where my eyes are betraying me.
The problem I have is that I would want the black, and that is out of stock in the Credo (creeds version)!Tell me about it.
