Just can't get enough? Reader Ben Ting comes to the rescue with a couple of Bible Design Blog-inspired reviews. As you can see, they feature some excellent photography:Dsc_3289 First, Ben's posted a comparison of the Holman Legacy CSB in black cowhide and the Tyndale Select NLT in mahogany calfskin. The Holman Legacy has come up here before (and, in an earlier iteration, here). The Tyndale Select is on my list of editions to review, and as you can see from Ben's photos, it's a real beauty. Next, inspired by my comparison of the Allan's Ruby KJV and the Cambridge Pitt Minion, Ben stacks his Pitt Minion side-by-side with an Allan's Brevier Clarendon KJV, the same edition in brown buffalo grain calfskin that I reviewed here. It's great to see more reviews online -- including some Bible yoga. Be sure to check out Ben's work and let him know what you think.
