I received my 3rd Humble Lamb KJV Lion, in forest green goatskin. They make very special gifts but this one is for me. I have compared the NKJV Shepherd, NASB HIStory, and KJV Lion, in covers of ocean blue calfskin, hunter green calfskin, sahara blue goatskin, and forest green goatskin. Each has special features I love but this KJV Lion in forest green goatskin is my favorite Humble Lamb Bible! Many like the single column to a page design featured in the NKJV Shepherd and NASB HIStory, certainly nice for reading. But for study and finding specific verses and passages, the two column is wonderful, and just as easy to read. The forest green goatskin has a much softer feel than the Sahara blue. Both very fine and flexible but the Sahara blue you can feel the pebbly texture more. Texture is visible in the forest green, but softer to the touch and melts into the hand. They appear exactly the same size but the forest green feels more compact somehow. The quality of this goatskin equals, and in my opinion, exceeds that of RL Allan, Schuyler, or Cambridge, all of which I have. The calfskin Humble Lamb uses is also lovely and equals or exceeds those three. The calfskin is a bit thicker but still very soft and flexible, has some texture but smoother to the touch. But I am partial to very soft goatskin, and I love this forest green goatskin on the KJV Lion! It is lined with very dark brown goatskin and beautifully detailed edge lining. The quality of craftsmanship is outstanding; these covers should last literally forever! As a nice touch, the three lovely wide satin ribbons on this one are two medium brown and one dark green. This one has the Lion color fore-edge gilt which is beautifully done. I also love the Lion and snake one. The color fore-edge gilt is just gorgeous and quite a step up from the regular fore-edge gilt featured in the NASB HIStory. The 11 pt Milo typeface in the KJV Lion is really nice, especially for senior eyes though even the tiny footnotes at the bottoms of the pages are sharp and clear and very easy to read in the Milo font. The 36 GSM Bible paper used in the KJV Lion is amazing. Schuyler uses 28 GMS in their KJV Canterbury which results in a size of 6.1″ x 9.1″ x 1.1″ compared to the KJV Lion at 6 in x 9 in x 1.5 in. Yet these two Bibles side by side appear to be virtually the same in size, thickness, and weight so any possible advantage of portability for Schuyler by using the thinner paper is not even noticeable. The Schuyler is very nice, but the KJV Lion has all the advantage with better opacity, and the pages are so smooth and easy to turn while retaining all the feel of the highest quality thin Bible paper. I do really like the elegant drop caps Schuyler uses in their Canterbury though and hope for the next KJV Lion refresh Humble Lamb will consider a more elegant drop cap such as they have used for the NASB history. Or even still all in blue such as Schuyler uses all in red, but a little more ornate than the plain drop caps currently used. The contrasting blue for the Words of Christ and for chapters and headers as well as picture captions, is really nice. I would like to see this expanded to blue for the verse numbers as well in the next refresh, which is another thing Schuyler does in the Canterbury, though theirs are red. But the contrast for the verse numbers does really help find individual verses. The Dore illustrations are crisp and clear, so nice as Bibles used to have these but for decades left them out. Really glad Humble Lamb has brought them back, and I am eagerly waiting for the BSB Maker which will have all of them in color! I really hope the next refresh of the KJV Lion might include color ones as well. One more thing I would like to see, that Schuyler does for their Canterbury and some others - they offer a personal size option which has the exact same page numbers and everything identical to the larger full-size Bible. But in reducing the 11 pt Milo font to 8.5 which is still very readable, they are able to achieve a 4.7″ x 7.1″ x 1″ size which is so nice when you want a smaller, more portable Bible to carry for travel. The NASB HIStory with 8.5 Milo type by comparison is 7 x 4.75 x 1.75 inches with 32 GSM paper and all 220 Dore illustrations, and also a separate blank page for the header of each of the 66 books in the Bible - slightly more portable it is very thick. The KJV Lion has 66 Dore illustrations, with the header for each book at its beginning, so I think could come much closer to a smaller personal size by simply shrinking the page. Cambridge also makes a Concord Reference in 5.5″ x 8.25″ x 1.125″ size using an 8 pt font, which is just slightly larger than Schuyler's personal size but very portable and readable. The KJV Lion includes beautiful maps, concordance, a section About This Bible, and Translator Notes. Of Humble Lamb's current Bibles, the KJV Lion in forest green goatskin is definitely my favorite! Thank you, Humble Lamb!
