ONE of My Favorite Bibles :: TWO Gorgeous Rebinds!

[@dnzswithwombats]

Something people might find helpful would be a place to compare reviews of the different businesses offering rebinding. Not only comparing their finished products, but also just as important for those of us with limited funds; do they finish on time and as promised? Do they communicate? Do they require full payment up-front and then leave you hanging? Do they make many excuses instead of doing what they agreed and promised to deliver? These would be good to know before considering a rebind, especially if it is on the main Bible you use which contains years of personal note taking.

I'd appreciate this too! Do this Tim!!!

[@timwildsmith]

For sure... I *usually* get my rebinds from a third party, but I'll definitely keep this in mind if I do anything directly with a rebinder through their ordering process.

[@isactoriguevara6030]

I think they both look really awesome! But I’d have to go with the Blue PTL

[@Jason-L-Ledford]

The Navy NKJV is my favorite because Navy is my favorite color but I do love the grain pattern on the Red NKJV Bible as well.

[@timwildsmith]

Nice!

[@artistchristos]

The red one...oh yes! I just gave away my black goatskin in this bible a few days ago which will be someone's first premium bible. Thanks for showing these rebinds, Tim.

[@timwildsmith]

You're welcome!

[@grantkruger3689]

That leather looks fantastic. I want to find out exactly what leather it is.

[@jasonmarshall5730]

Tim, thanks for comparing those rebinds. Both are beautiful, but the Lion and Lamb definitely speaks to me. I guess it's the Allan-esque look that grabs my attention. That, and the crazy goatskin!

[@timwildsmith]

I love that one, too!

[@grantkruger3689]

Next to the rebinds the standard Thomas Nelson edition looks really good. That's quite impressive, shows how premium they really are. Post Tenebras Lux do great work, but that red leather on the Lion & Lamb rebind is amazing. I've said it before, but its worth repeating 😁 Regarding the raised/tooled ribs/bands on the spine, I'd say it depends. On both of those rebinds, the ribs are working well for that "configuration." I usually think that five is the right number, but the four tooled ribs on the Lion & Lamb rebind are working really well.

[@timwildsmith]

Great input... thanks, Grant!

[@LaLa_ArtGal]

I love that red! The tooled ribs are exactly what I like.

[@timwildsmith]

Nice!

[@7Dorie]

Another great video, Tim! Simply beautiful Bibles! Tantalizing fun hint of things to come at the end there too! If you ever decide to let that Lion and Lamb rebind go, I would love to have an opportunity to buy it! I confess that I have loved that particular Bible of yours since the first time I saw it!!! I immediately decided to have a Lion and Lamb rebind of my own someday soon!!!! LOL

[@timwildsmith]

They're incredible!

[@toobalicious]

Even though I just bought and received my new Schuyler Quentel in marbled mahogany calfskin, I can’t help but watch your videos. Do I regret my purchase? Nope. But man, talk about a stunningly beautiful rebind…. Thanks for the video!

[@timwildsmith]

So nice, aren't they!

[@pappywinky4749]

I would take that red leather with the binding style of the PTL, that perimiter stitching, semi-yapp is beautiful

[@timwildsmith]

Oh yeah!

[@leslieeichler5331]

That red Bible takes my breath away. How can I order one of those.

[@We.R.Comics]

I'm torn between Premier KJV Bible (red goatskin) and the Cambridge Clarion (black goatskin), thoughts?

[@Jacsubi]

Does the perimeter tooled line add any value to the construction, or is it purely for aesthetics? I think it looks nice, but it might be something I'd just pick at over time.

[@timwildsmith]

Hmmm... I would think that it keeps the edges held down.

[@SeekingthekingdomofGod]

Blue PTL for me thats a stunning looking Bible would not mind to invest in one one day. Great work on both but the Blue one is clean.

[@timwildsmith]

Right on!

[@sylviafriessen9124]

I LOVE that red fatnat red goat rebind !! I want a rebind in that leather someday

[@timwildsmith]

Gorgeous!

[@christopherbrown2222]

What kind of leather is on the cover of the Lion & Lamb? I really like it!

[@timwildsmith]

It's a secret!

[@dave4usc]

Tim, Just had my Bible rebinded and repaired by Leonards Book Restoration ~ They were outstanding to deal with ~ they came highly recommended by Evangelical Bible. I would like to see an honest video based on just bible rebinding company's. Leonards required no deposit and the turnaround time was less than a month with outstanding communication. Great people to deal with!!

[@timwildsmith]

Great to hear!

[@jeriannmahnich]

Hey Tim, how would I get in touch with Lion & Lamb if I didn’t have FB? Do you know where they are located? I’m still looking for someone to remind my childhood Bible. Thanks much!!… That red is stunning*!! 🤤

[@timwildsmith]

I think he has his email address on his FB page... if not, shoot me a message and I'll send it to you.

[@sandracoombs2255]

Did you say Tim that you bought those Bibles rather than ordering the rebinds? Can one buy Bibles like this direct from rebinders? I loved that deep red one. 😊🙏

[@timwildsmith]

I bought them from a friend!

[@sandracoombs2255]

@@timwildsmith Gotcha! Thank you 🙏

[@nnemoyer]

Quick, and probably unrelated question: Are you familiar with Schaeffner Co rebinders? Like 'em?

[@timwildsmith]

Not familiar.

[@nnemoyer]

@@timwildsmith thanks for your quick reply. I just looked them up. They have a nice video. A family business. They're posting (on eBay) an already rebound ESV large print personal size that is calling out to me. God continue to bless your work Tim!

[@christianbonus5973]

I hope i have that so precious Holy Book to in leather 😇

[@terrysbookandbiblereviews]

Beautiful rebinds. Looks expensive

[@llewellynbehrens8505]

I think i prefer the standard version over the rebinds. I find these rebinds to be too eccentric for my personal taste, however in saying that they are very unique.

[@timwildsmith]

I get that... not for everyone.
