In this video, I take a deep dive into the latest premium bibles from Holman (Lifeway), specifically the Single Column Wide Margin Bibles in some stunning new colors.
Holman has come a long way with their premium line, and these new releases in Slate Gray and Marbled Tan are proof of their commitment to quality. From the improved spine hubs to the gorgeous silver-over-blue gilding on the gray edition, there is a lot to love here.

Key Features Explored:
Premium Covers: A look at the new Slate Gray and Marbled Tan calfskin covers and how they age over time.
The Layout: Why this 10-point, single-column format is one of my favorite layouts from Holman to date.
Paper Quality: Testing the paper for ghosting and how the line matching holds up in prose vs. poetry.
The Details: Checking out the new spine hubs, the "beefy" 2-inch spine, and those signature Holman maps.
The "Nickels Worth" Critique: I’m talking honestly about the cover stamping and that tiny concordance font!
Whether you’re looking for a cost-effective premium Bible or just want to see the latest color options, these single-column wide margins are definitely worth a look.
