Allan Longprimer (Navy Blue)
|

|
| |
The Allan Longprimer is Allan's signature Bible. It is perhaps the best designed and manufactured Bible available. It has continually received the best reviews of any Bible that we market. There is a lot to say about the Longprimer, but in the interest of time and space we will provide its most valuable distinctives.
a. Legibility. The print is a bold 10 point which is set on the most opaque paper in the industry. Score: A.
b. Binding. The Bibles pictured above are Natural Highland Goatskin-Smyth Sewn-with Overcasting. Basically, this Bible is built to last a lifetime.... Notice the full yapp cover which protects the Bible from every day use. Score: A.
The Longprimer has a host of other features that separate it from the pack, but Legibility and Binding are the 2 single most important features that contribute to Bible quality. With hundreds of Bibles in our facility to choose from, the Highland Goatskin Longprimer stands in a league of its own.

| Above: Black Longprimer above. Notice the Art Gilt Edges, Gilt line, and 3 durable Dark Blue Ribbons. The paper, which is the the most opaque available, helps contribute to the Longprimer's excellent legibility index. |
| |
Above:One of the Longprimer's most important features is its clear and bold typeface. Set on opaque Bible paper, it is difficult to find a more legible Authorized Version Bible. |
|
|
| Above: The Longprimer Goatskin Binding takes the shape of its environment. These photos were taken with Bibles that were opened 'right out of the box.' |
|
| Above- The Longprimer, once again has a 'yapp' cover. A yapp cover extends beyond the book block and thus covers the pages. This is not simply for aesthetic purposes, it actually acts as a natural Bible cover. |

|
| Above: The 52i - Thumb Indexed Longprimer. |
| |
|
| Above: Allan Craftsmanship extends to detail. The gold shines so brightly because of old school techniques designed to sustain the lustre. The gold on Allan Bibles is actually a gold foil melted onto the pages. |
| |
|
Above: Opaque paper, craftsmanship, attention to detail, buttery soft leather and durable binding have produced the Allan signature Bible, and perhaps the best Bible we have ever carried.
