Bible Post-Op InstructionsAt Leonard's we care about your Bible. We're a pastor and his family, and we recognize the value of the Bible. It's not just any old book!
Here are some hints to keep your Bible in good condition, especially after you've had it nicely repaired or rebound:
Don't use your Bible as a filing cabinet. Refrain from using it to store old church bulletins and loose notes. These will break the spine and cause your pages to fall out.
Don't store your Bible on a dashboard of a car or in direct sunlight. This will cause the leather to dry out and the color to fade, or even get sticky. A hardcover Bible will become warped.
Don't fold your Bible backwards. This stretches the sewing and can permanently warp the spine.
Don't repair your Bible using scotch tape, masking tape, or duct tape.
Read your Bible as often as possible, at least once a day. If the cover is genuine leather, this keeps it naturally oiled and supple. And, as our friend Duane used to say, "It couldn't hurt you none, either!"
