Bibles Fall Apart - Low Quality - What Can Be Done? TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2010 Posted by: Scott McMahan | more.. 1,150+ views | 1 user comments My Bibles keep falling apart. What can be done? Does any publisher make a high-quality Bible any longer? All of these Bibles seem to have the spines crack at either the extreme left or right where the last group of pages is glued to the spine. Then the pages start falling out one clump at a time. I bought a Crossway ESV when the large-print edition came out, and spent a little extra on a real leather cover, and it started falling apart immediately. Unfortunately for me, I had already started writing in it. Otherwise I would have sent it back. Both the front and back cracked at the spine, and I had to glue the pages back together. My mother had a large-print NJKV and the spine busted open along the inside cover. I ordered her another one, and that Bible came out of the box with the spine cracked open along the inside cover. I sent it back. I just had to glue my own NJKV and KJV Study Bible together. Both were cracking open. If you get glue on them early enough, it seems to help. I bought a large-print NIV. Not my #1 first choice translation, but I want to see if it holds together any better. The translation I likebest is the NKJV, because a lot of pastors on SermonAudio use the KJV. If I listen to the KJV being read, and read along in the NKJV, I understand the passage much better. Unfortunately, the NKJV is only published by Thomas Nelson, who apparently are the lowest quality Bible publishers out there. I looked at pew Bibles in a catalog I had gotten, because they're usually constructed more ruggedly, but the NKJV is the only translation that doesn't have a large-print pew Bible. I wish someone else would publish the KJV Study Bible in a better binding. It's one of the best study Bibles out there. • post new | clone this | rss feed | blog top »
