Question:
I'm interested in having my personal Bible rebound in leather. What are my options?
Answer:
First, we need to evaluate the spine of your Bible.
If it has an intact, sewn spine, we can go straight to talking about what leather you'd like. If the pages are falling out or the spine is glued, we usually need to insert cords into the spine, to repair it and secure the pages first.

Not all leathers are suitable for Bibles, but we stock an assortment of recommended Bible leathers, including pigskin, sheepskin, lambskin, calf, deer, goat, and even kangaroo, plus a variety of suedes. Many leathers also come in several grains, both natural and impressed. We recommend full grain leathers for the best strength, rather than top grain, whenever possible.

We are also aware that there are some folks who just don't like using animal hides for their Bibles. For this reason, we have imitation leather. This is actually a type of cloth with a leatherlike finish and comes in several grains. While it may not last as long as genuine leather, it will not disintegrate like bonded leather, and it can be imprinted and used for either a hardcover Bible or a softcover. Also available are a variety of standard bookbinding cloths suitable for indoor use with hardcover Bibles and other sturdy cloths suitable for softcovers. See our Budget Menu.
Once your Bible is neatly dressed in its new skin, we can add ribbons and personalize it with your name or initials, so it doesn't accidentally get picked up by the wrong person. Check our ordering information page for more on pricing.
