LSB Large Print Wide Margin in Reddish Brown Faux Leather

I’m excited to bring this review because of the generosity and kindness of several of my followers on Instagram. Because of them I purchased this Bible and am able to review it and I am incredibly grateful for each of those individuals.

This Bible is a big one, but it’s awesome! This is the Large Print Wide Margin Legacy Standard Bible in the reddish brown paste-down faux leather. It’s a beautiful Bible that is incredible for its price. Let’s talk about what makes this Bible a dream to use.

This Bible comes with a black and gold slipcover that gives you all the details about the Bible and it has an attractive design. After removing the cover, you are greeted by a nicely designed Bible that gives you great quality for a cheaper price than your more expensive bindings. 

The faux leather feels smooth, but has a really nice grain. When you open it and close it the cover does stay lifted as many faux leathers are prone to do, but it will mostly settle back down. The spine has a gold horizontal bar design and also in gold are the words, “HOLY BIBLE”, “LEGACY STANDARD BIBLE”, and “STEADFAST BIBLES”. 

The page edges have a nice gold foil. There are two thin, double-sided satin ribbon bookmarks. One is maroon and the other is gold. I do appreciate that they included two, but I would have loved for them to make them wider. There are also maroon head and tail bands. 

Inside you have a black paste-down vinyl liner, which is so much better than a paper liner. There are also matching black vinyl end sheets. This certainly reflects a higher quality design even though this Bible is faux leather. This Bible is also smyth-sewn for durability, which is definitely appreciated in such a thick Bible.

That being said, this Bible is thick. However, in my opinion, the layout makes it worth it. First, let’s talk about the paper. This is 40 gsm paper! That’s thick. That’s a paper that is meant to write on. I can’t overstate this. You get the same nice paper in the hardback, faux leather, and the cowhide. You can’t go wrong with any of these bindings! This Bible is printed and bound in Korea so while you’re not getting Netherland’s quality binding, you are getting a cheaper price and fantastic paper. I love it!

The layout itself is a single column verse-by-verse that is linematched. This is my absolute favorite layout. The font is a 10.5, which is also fantastic and easy on the eyes. I didn’t know if this would be much better than my handy-sized edition, but as someone who loves larger fonts, this is better! This is easy on the eyes and a joy to read. Words of Christ are in red. This is my major knock on this Bible. I truly prefer an all black text and unfortunately they decided to go red letter on this one. However, I will say the red letter is well done, consistent, and dark.

If you’re a notetaker, the margins on this Bible are really great. This Bible has 1.33” outer margin for whatever you may want to write down. I don’t typically write in Bibles, but this one is really tempting me.

Finally, for even more notes, you get 14 extra dot matrix pages in the back so you can write till your heart is content! I love that they went with dot matrix because that really leaves the options open for what you can do with the paper. 

All in all, the perfect LSB for me has been created with this edition. The font size, layout, and paper thickness all combine to create an incredible Bible that you’ll want to use for the rest of your life. I highly recommend this edition and want to thank once again my Instagram followers who contributed to make this review possible! Thank you so much.
