| | | Calvin Legacy edition of Geneva Bible for $28.96!!
1599 Geneva Bible Calvin Legacy Editionhttp://http://www.reformationbooksto...cyedition.aspx
The Calvin Legacy edition of the Geneva Bible published by Tolle Lege is one of the most beautiful Bibles I have in my collection. Leather covered boards, Embossed in Gold in the front with a Crest and in Gold in the back with a profile of Calvin. Print size is same as the other standard Geneva Bibles from Tolle Lege, If like me, you love a well bound Bible, buy this. You will not regret it, especially at $28.96!!

Beware! I read a review in AMAZON.COM that there are some binding problems. That may be why it is on sale.

It is my main bible. I bought it when it first came out last year, so that is not very long. But I see no imminent signs of binding failures. I have a leather Tolle lege Geneva Bible which I bought when it first came out a few years ago. The Bindings have not failed on that either. Like all books it depends on how one uses them. I have seen too many bibles used very roughly, no wonder the bindings go.

My Calvin Legacy GB started to split from the cover after a few months of frequent, but gentle use. I could have repaired it with some tape or glue, but decided, instead, to have it rebound in a plain leather cover. The original cover was attractive, but I'm happy with an understated, flexbile binding.
I absolutely love this Bible--it's my primary daily reader, too 
$29 is GREAT deal!

Thank you just ordered a copy.
Can anyone tell me the difference between the 1560 and the 1599 editions?

About 12 days to California.
It is handsome, but what has us concerned, are the light-weight pages. Tissue thin. And warning: print is small for anyone who might have eyesight problems.
Interesting historical notes are included in the publication, plus a C.D.
Well worth the price, even though it will require conscientious handling.

The Geneva sounds like a move in a better direction. |
