My dad was given one of these in 1971 as a gift but it was done by Zondervan, in Morocco goatskin. The pages are exactly the same in it. I love that Bible, by far it is one of my favorites, but the paper is really starting to just full on deteriorate. The texture of it reminds me of a moth's wings -- that's how fragile it is
I know that feeling! It' like they get thin and fuzzy. It makes for a tough call... do you keep reading from it until it falls apart, or just break it out for special occasions...
I just bought one of these on ebay for a possible rebind, thanks for the great review. Looking at the first commenter above, I thought India paper normally lasts forever because it's made of rag fibers, and is superior to the paper made today?
I would have to say so. I prefer the thicker paper, so a nice 36gsm is good enough more me now-a-days, but there is no comparison when it comes to the whiteness, thinness and opacity of India paper. It was really tops.
Yes, the only premium bible I own is a Schuyler with 36gsm paper and it's wonderful. I tried to do some research on why 'India' papers aren't made anymore, but the only thing I could find was something about the toxicity of the process in making it. Anyway, God bless, keep up the great work.
@@bradt1081 yes, I've heard the chemical process caused cancer. It's a shame, but paper quality is coming back around slowly, albeit in a thicker form.
@@RustyBibles Really nice video! QQ: Do you know where I could find more information about India paper? If it isn't being produced anymore, could you point me towards those high quality papers you mention that come in a thicker form? I'm super interested on the subject, but all I can find online are really short and incomplete pieces of information. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your review. Like #6. Blessings 🙏🏼👍🏼

Yes I do. I have a few that I highlight and write in when I do deep dive studies.

Are you listing this on eBay?
It's active now: www.ebay.com/itm/256337637223
Watching your hands and fingers talking is very annoying. Amen, good bible show.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for my daily dose of positivity! I'll try to be more listless in my forthcoming videos!
Ok
