I got one question. Was the gold stamped Bible supposed to actually be stamped, ie imprinted like yours, just with gold lettering? Just got mine in and it's just the standard spine with the gold print. Actually, the print is much worse than that of my hand size Scofiled, in terms of sharpness and legibility. On their website, the spine does indeed look stamped.

@aoshia1 Unfortuantely from what I've been hearing, the dry stamped covers are of much higher quality than the gold lettered ones. A friend of mine got one of the gold "stamped" ones and it was not stamped but printed on the spine. I imagine this was a cost saving measure..............I would suggest a refund if you're not happy with it

Does this bible include the Apocrypha like the original 1611?

[eggmanmania2001]

@MicahDillon93 No it doesn't

I ordered one of these bibles. How do I take care of the lambskin?

[eggmanmania2001]

@badjuijui The best way to take care of any leather is to allow the oil from your hands to penetrate and soften it (in other words use it)..........however, if like me, you have more than one leather bible, I would suggest using Maguire's leather cleaner/conditioner once a year or so........I've also used Pertoleum Jelly, it's cheaper and works really well

@eggmanmania2001

I tried the Meguiar's leather conditioner (spray and paste) on my NIVC1 (pretty much unused) and it made it slightly sticky. I went over the Bible very lightly and any less wouldn't have covered it. Is there any particular method or form of the cleaner that you've found works best?

@eggmanmania2001

Just got off the phone with LCBP to hopefully resolve this issue. No go. It's either get a refund, or keep the Bible. So, for those buying your Anniversary edition late, like me, you will not be getting a gold stamped Bible, but a standard spine with lower quality gold lettering. It seems they are going to list it as stamped as well. A little disappointing but that hasn't kept me from using this Bible extensively since I've received it. God Bless.

@LemonSaucy Thats too bad about your bible, I don't need a 400th edition with the apocrypha. I already have copies of the apocrypha by itself. I was just inquiring if this particular version included it or not.

@MicahDillon93 I bought a 400th anniversary Bible with the Apocrypha, sadly it is the not the high quality piece of work seen in this video. Although it is very similar to the original KJB, my copy seems to lack one or two of the original illustrations. Most are there and all the text is there, but a couple illustrations in the original are not included, AFAICT. Anyway, if you must have a 400th anniversary ed. with the Apocrypha, they're out there.
