ESV Study Bible available for Kindle
According to the ESV blog, Crossway has released the ESV Study Bible for the Kindle electronic book reader. In keeping with Amazon’s attempt to keep Kindle book pricing low, the ESV Study Bible can be purchased and downloaded for less than $10! This looks like an introductory promotion until June, when the price increases to [...]
A new NLT Reference Bible?
NLT Study Bible editor Sean Harrison tweeted earlier today about a new NLT Reference Edition Bible due out this August. According to his original “post” and a follow-up reply, the new Bible will be a slimline edition with “center-column references with Hebrew-Greek word study.”
I can only assume that, from this brief description, this edition will [...]
TNIV cracks Amazon.com Top 10
For those questioning the TNIV’s distribution and marketing strategies, it is worth noting that that the TNIV Kindle Edition has cracked the top 10 on Amazon.com’s Kindle Bestseller list, and is currently listed in the #8 position.

So what exactly is pigskin leather?
I recently found a mint copy of the REB Standard Edition with Apocrypha text bound in “pigskin leather” in a “semi-yapp style with gilt blocking and gilt edges, marker ribbons and presentation page”. This is catalog item REB125 (ISBN 0191012459) for those in the know.
I’m familiar with bonded leather, genuine leather, calfskin, goatskin and various [...]

A Bible for Iyov
Iyov has written recently about the Geneva Bible [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], so I thought he might take interest in this eBay listing for what purports to be a genuine leather First Edition 1560 Geneva Bible.
Certainly with a “Buy It Now” price of $19,500 USD, one might expect it to be authentic? Though that [...]
