I am in the market for a pulpit bible to use every Lord's Day. I want to be able to preach from it (i.e.- hold it and be able to shake it. ) and I have been given some money to purchase one.

Not a Bible I would recommend to use in the pulpit. Not at all a preaching-friendly font size. After much, much searching for a NKJV of both larger-print and durable binding, I ended up ordering the new Single-Column NKJV from Nelson (notorious for their shoddy craftsmanship) and had it sent to a Bible bindery. Whole bill was a a bit over $100 shipped. I think the font-size is 14pt. (black-letter) and it is single-column. It has only a few cross-references and has the typical textual notes found in the NKJV. If I had a digital camera I would post pictures, but I do not.
The options for a large-print, well-bound Bible in NKJV are VERY few.
Nelson's horrible craftsmanship (along with its monopoly on NKJV) is one of the reasons that I switched from NKJV to ESV. I could not justify my congregation buying bibles that would fall apart. I went through 3 in 18 months.Can someone here tell me about this Bible?

I'm not sure which translation you are looking to use, but a word of advice -- get the largest font you can (as long as it keeps the size manageable). I use a NASB with a "giant print" font. It makes reading from the pulpit very easy.
I just ordered an Allan Standard Edition ESV a few minutes ago. I sold some of the stuff I had listed on eBay. O happy day!
No the English Revised version on which the 1901 ASV was based.Thomas, is that an ASV?
???
OK, OK, maybe that isn't the one. But, what is Fred doing with Bibles that he wears out three in 18 months? Fred, you are a Presbyterian, not a Pentecostal! You are not supposed to beat on them, throw them on the ground, and fling them at the devil as you prance back and forth shouting "Hallelujah" at the top of your lungs!
Try doing things "decently and in order."
I have a Nelson Signature Series NKJV and find that the Smyth sewn, high end, leather binding seems quite good. But, then again, all I do is hold it and read it.
