They first printed a Bible in about 1591--- and have been doing a good job since then. { No, I don't own stock in Cambridge Press} What/why/how was wrong with it ?
If you don't like that Cambridge Cameo, send it up here! Our book store consists of a rack or two of the paperback novels and coloring books at the grocery store.  |
I've had one 160 dollar goatskin reference edition come apart (well it was just starting to, and they did send me a replacement that is doing well). This CAMEO is showing signs of shotty workmanship in multiple places, but it is only a 50 dollar Bible so I'm not to suprised. Now, my old white leather text-only Cambridge is holding together quite well after much use. So it's a toss up with Cambridge. I've heard from many sources that confirm my experiences that Cambridge doesn't print Bibles of the quality that they used to be known for. The paper they use is different (it doesn't have the cambridge smell anymore), the french morocco leather is no longer soft, and the sewing is not given the attention it should get. On my CAMEO the leather lining on the inside is coming off. Anywho, I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to Bibles, so perhaps some of these things wouldn't bother others, but they drive me kookoo for cocoa puffs. I'd just love to have one Bible that is built like the Bibles of old. Hopefully, what I've heard about Lewis Bibles will prove true.
