Yeah, I know it’s been covered a lot. But awhile back when I was looking at a different youtube video about it this one showed up below it. It’s been mostly about the absurd idea that tfg could even hold a bible or how broke he must be to start hawking bibles.
This video is different. It’s a actual review of it’s quality. Also it answers the question do the pages stick together. Tim Wildsmith actually reviews different brands of bibles. Things like quality of cover, bindings, paper, and readability. His takeaway is it’s a really cheap over priced bible. One thing he notes is there isn’t any mention of where his God Bless America is made at. It would be standard tfg operating procedure if it was made in China. He even had some of the pages stick together and tear when opening. Just how cheaply made is the bible? Well, watch the video. He puts the price he would expect to pay is $15 to $20. So if it’s something that should be that low price how much did it actually cost to make? To me it was worth watching the whole video.
Edit: Just some more information I found on the web.
From The Tennessean
The original God bless the USA Bible was originally to be published by Zondervan a subsidiary of HarperCollins. But it stepped away from the deal. There is confusion why. A group of christian authors who had their books published by Zondervan protested the bible. But Zondervan said that wasn’t the reason they declined to publish it. This could be the reason there isn’t a publisher listed in the book. No one wants their name associated with it.

Slate also had a pretty good opinion piece on the Greenwood bible.
