Holy Bible, Black Goatskin Rebind, ESV

This is a hand-bound edition of the Bible in the English Standard Version. You can find the original here. It’s the ESV Personal Reference Bible printed by Crossway. The font size is 8.00 and it is highly portable. We wanted to offer a premium rebind with a better cover.

The semi-yap cover for this rebind is premium veg-tanned black Barcelona goatskin from Siegel Leather, and the lining is black goatskin. 

The perimeter lining is stitched by hand using saddle stitching, which is stronger and more durable than machine stitching. Very few premium Bibles are stitched by hand — this part alone generally takes a couple of hours of skilled labor to complete. 

The spine was reinforced with a fresh piece of bookbinding cloth and PVA glue. It has black headbands and three double satin ribbons — two navy blue and one gold.

The spine has three raised hubs and it says “Holy Bible” and "ESV" in gold foil stamping.

That’s what we did for this rebind. Tell us what you think! We are newer at rebinding and still perfecting our craft, and this is priced accordingly. Each rebind is a unique piece of work that took many careful hours to complete. It doesn’t look like it came off a factory line. If you’re looking for a bespoke look in a premium binding that will last for many years, this is for you.
