I still have my Dad's old 67 Schofield, the pages are starting to come loose, and the leather is splitting in the corners. You also have to be very careful of how you turn the pages, or they will tear. That makes it going on 42 years, and it was well used. I keep it laying around for my quick pickup Bible, so its still being used somewhat.
Well, if you fill that Bible up with notes that you want to keep you can always have it rebound. I'd recommend Mechling at: http://www.mechlingbooks.com/bible.html. But these guys do good work so expect to pay for it. Then again, you could just buy the Limited Edition goatskin TCR Bible for less than a good rebind.

Peace and Love,
