Thanks for comparing those bibles together. Very helpful!

[@WontonDisciple]

Of course! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@pattube]

It does look great but I think I might still prefer the Schuyler PSQ ESV. Mainly because I think I like the color (e.g. red accents) more than b&w.

[@WontonDisciple]

Schuyler bibles do have such an elegant, beautiful aesthetic!

[@yeishaadhosein6510]

Great review, appreciate you factoring in the letting space, it’s a major thing for me too tbh. I share your sentiments about the PSQ, great Bible but a bit difficult for me to read. Alpha looks good. Might prefer thinline though because of that white space for reading.

[@WontonDisciple]

Thank you for your kind comment 🙏 the Thinline definitely beats out the Alpha in that regard. I enjoy shorter bibles for compact carry, though, assuming they're also decently thin.

[@yeishaadhosein6510]

Also I agree with you about the Pitt, there’s just something about those Cambridge Bibles that just have you reaching for them.

i read "compact king" to the melody of Corey Feldman's "Comeback King"

🤣🤣 perhaps a parody song is in order

Oh my God I love it!

[@wajical]

"Subtle elegance" is a great statement. I really prefer the single column of my ESV Heirloom Goatskin. It is a heavy Bible to preach from, but I got it to last the rest of my life. This seems to be one of types of Bibles. Thanks for the review. Appreciate your insight.

[@WontonDisciple]

I do love the Heritage very much! While heavier, it does have a great 8x5 personal size, so not nearly as cumbersome as many premiums today. I'm sure the Chinese Trutone editions coming out this February will feel pretty light in the hands. Thank you for your kind comment 🙏

[@wajical]

@@WontonDisciple I am looking forward to your review of those! From a preaching perspective. I preach from my Heirloom, but it stays on the pulpit the whole time. It is too heavy to walk and talk with :) lol!

[@WontonDisciple]

@@wajical if only they kept the smaller 2014 Heritages in print! Those are perfect for walking around with.

[@wajical]

@@WontonDisciple Were those thinline, single column?

[@WontonDisciple]

@@wajical nope, id never recommend that bible. Bleed through and ghosting is absolutely atrocious, and usually I'm not bothered by that stuff. There's an older edition of the Heritage that they put out in several Trutone and calfskin editions that had slightly smaller line spacing, smaller margins, and was basically a compact single column with similar 9 point font size. I have a video on it, actually

Great review

[@WontonDisciple]

Thank you 🙏

Pitt minion still

[@nathanbowman6353]

So has your mind changed since your "the one" video about the PSQ? Sounds like you like the Alpha over the psq

[@WontonDisciple]

It hasn't, actually, primarily because the Alpha is only offered in the ESV (which is not a translation I use regularly). If the Alpha was offered in other translations, it certainly would be my every day carry over the PSQ.

[@nathanbowman6353]

Interesting, thanks for the reply and video!@@WontonDisciple

@@nathanbowman6353 thank you for your kind comment!

[@nathanbowman6353]

@@WontonDisciple But you like the clarion over them both?

[@WontonDisciple]

@@nathanbowman6353 yes, I think it's overall the better bible due to it's readability despite not being as portable. It's portable enough.

[@j.dieason7527]

It’s just too much money for that. You can purchase a Schuyler for $75 less and the Schuyler is better imo

Is the ESV alpha shorter than the Pitt minion?

[@WontonDisciple]

It's actually a bit taller, both with the cover and on the text block

[@pollycronopolis7648]

@@WontonDisciplewould you prefer the alpha or Cambridge clarion for the ESV?

[@WontonDisciple]

@@pollycronopolis7648 if I could only pick one, I would choose the Clarion. Portable enough and highly readable.

[@pollycronopolis7648]

@@WontonDisciple thank you for your input! What would be your top pick out of the ones in the video for size? I ask since I’m about to buy one for going overseas. Would you get goatskin or be ok with the calf split leather? 😁

[@WontonDisciple]

@@pollycronopolis7648 if I picked based solely on size, the Pitt is the most novel, most portable, and feels the best in hand. The calfsplit is good and it's thick, but I like the feel of the goatskin overall. You can't go wrong with either. Out of the four, though, the Alpha is definitely my favorite.
