Seraphim's Stack of Bibles
This has been a week for "stacks"! Today, we round it out with photos from Craig Seraphim First, who comments here as Seraphim. I'm particularly pleased to share this collection, because it's strong in Nelson Signature editions.I may be wrong, but I believe the Nelson Signature line was really the first "premium" line of modern editions, and it introduced the flexible, matte-finished calfskin covers that have now become the norm. I have a few, and I know a number of readers do, too, but I think Seraphim has us beat! To demonstrate the flexibility of the binding, he snapped a second photo. From top to bottom, here's what's in the picture (along with a few annotations): Nelson Pocket Companion Signature Series Cambridge Concord KJV calfskin Cambridge RSV in Morocco leather Nelson Reference edition Signature Series NKJV (the most opaque pages of any of the Bibles) Nelson Slimline Signature series NKJV Nelson Slimline Signature Series KJV (came in the *ahem* "dreaded burgundy", but it was only $34 brand spanking new, and it actually looks a whole lot nicer than the pinkish hue shown in this pic) Oxford 50th anniversarry edition RSV with apocrypha, genuine leather binding Third Millenium Bible KJV -- Genuine leather binding, but it's decidedly unsatisfying (the binding that is, the Bible itself is rather nice- single paragraph layout, nicely readable.) Thanks for sharing, Seraphim! I haven't seen the Nelson Pocket Companion Signature series, but it looks like a nice size.
