How much will these sell for?
I have the Allan Long Primer in highland goatskin. This is a beautiful Bible. I love the full yapp covers and red under gold page edges. The typeface is large, clear and very readable. Probably the nicest Bible I own.
Please go to evangelicalbible.com/shop for our prices.
We have recently uploaded pictures of our Allan Bibles. Please visit our Allan page for the pictures.
Those are some beautiful photographs, thanks Paul! Will you upload some pictures of the highland goatskin Brevier Clarendon 5C? I assume it is similar to the Long Primer but it would be nice to see how the full yapp looks on the smaller size Bible.
Decisions, decisions...
The 5C's are now available.
thanks
We are now carrying the Oxford Brevier Clarendon Brown Buffalo Calfskin. We have also uploaded photos for your convenience.

I am interested in either the Ruby or the Crystal edition. Are they both equally readable? It would be helpful to see a picture of them open side by side for comparison. What is your opinion of each of these Bibles? Thank you.
Thanks for your comments:
Bear in mind that the Crystal and Ruby are both pocket Bibles. Neither have a premium on readability. The Crystal is quite a bit smaller, and in fact the smallest Cambridge Bible that contains full references.
The Crystal is a bit stiffer than the Ruby. The Ruby is truly a "melt in your hand" Bible.
In term of readability-the Ruby is bit bigger-but remember neither are to be purchased for their large font size.
When will you have the Allan Long Primer in highland goatskin KJV bible in stock?
Purchased the Brevier Clarendon 5C in natural goatskin currently selling for 149 and change.
Beautiful Bible. Very readable for the size. Outstanding binding and stitching. Superb feel. The art gilt is very good with no rub off. 2 ribbons of perfect lenght and premium quality.
Some differences from what I anticipated from the photos and description.
Came with the 28 pages of lined paper at the rear. The navy blue endsheet is paper and not navy blue leather lined as I anticpated. Also with my copy I do not seem have the pictured study pages as per the photos. The interior lining of the cover may be a deep blue, however, if it is no one I've shown it to can describe it as black.
So heads up, the photos and description may be somewhat misleading.
Despite the photos and description (wich could be just how I viewed and read it) the Bible is a sure winner for anyone that appreciates a really, really, well built and good to read Bible.
I noticed the same issue with my Oxford Clarendon...no Cyclopedic Concordance with charts, photos, etc... as shown in the photos. It does have a nice dictionary or proper names, a subject look-up and concordance but not the one shown. I wonder if Allans changed text blocks in more recent editions?
Otherwise a fine edition but I too specifically chose mine for the Cyclopedic Concordance.
Good words.
We are expanding our Allan collection into the French Morocco bindings because of their beauty and affordability. This will include versions such as the Allan Long Primer in French Morocco.

A true story......
Last Sunday morning after the morning services, I load the family into the SUV and buckle the my infant son into the car seat. For those with 4 plus infant you can imagine the bags and bibles being loaded.
The road home is aproximately 25 miles down the mountain of which the last 12 is interstate. So I'm driving conservatively some 70 mph. About 1 mile from the exit, I have a couple wave me over pointing to the top of the vehicle.
I pull over get out, and am aghast at what I discover. A brand new Allan Brevier Claraden caught in the luggage rack completely blown into a large ball. Needless to say I'm near to panic and am thinking it is ruined.
Not so. So far from the truth. My wife took it in her hands and straightend each page, then pressed the cover down while I drove the last couple miles home.
By the time I got home, the bible was immaculate, all pages back to their original position (lest wrinkles). The bible suffered no damage whatsoever.
Truly a magnificent piece of workmanship and quality.
Once again I am in awe at a Bible. I could not be happier in a bound copy of the Word. The Allan 20 has a tighter grain than my Clarendon 5. It has two ribbon markers which is unclear in the photos and description. The ribbon markers are also wider than the Clarendon 5 which is a bonus I didn't expect. The Allan 20 also has the lined noted pages at the rear that I feared would not be in the addition with the cyclopedia, also a huge bonus not clear in the description. I find that I will be at odds with myself as to which edition I will carry as "my Bible".
I have settled on supplementing my (ESV) studies with reference to the KJV. I hope to purchase the Cruden's concordance and an Allan KJV for that purpose. Which binging/size is closest to that of the Cruden's (CC7) concordance? It appears from the photographs that the 8i Brevier Clarendon may be a good match - but are the materials similar. Alternately, the 5C and 7C are listed as goatskin. Any thoughts?
Thanks much.

Sorry: "binding"

The Cruden's Concordance (printed by Cambridge, bound by Allan) is of course, a classic AV reference tool. It was first printed in 1930.
The binding is a supple goatskin, but without full yapp covering. The type face is smaller than the Clarendon or Blackface families, but highly legible nonetheless.
We hope this helps.

It is also worth noting that the highly popular Allan 6C (Clarendon Family) will be back in stock this week. The 6C will have the Highland Goatskin binding in the Dark Brown-Chocolate color-exactly similar to the ESV1BR or NIVC1BR. As in most cases only 100 have been published so act soon.

The Allan Longprimer (53) in Highland Goatskin is back in stock, as well as the Brevier Clarendon in Dark Brown Goatksin (6C).
Here are the links.

Recently received my new Allan Long Primer KJV. I have number premium and calfskin bound Bibles in various translations. This is the best. Now, if only I could get a vest pocket size (apx. 4.25 x 6.25) KJV or ESV NT w/ Psalms & Proverbs in the same type of binding. . . my lifelong quest would be over.
