Today I added a couple beautiful genuine leather Bibles to my collection: one is a Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), and the other is a King James Version (KJV).
I decided today that the theme here on Bible Bookshelf was not to my liking, so I made a few adjustments. The blog now has a "wood" feel to it, and there are new header pictures on each page. Meanwhile, I also updated the spreadsheet on the "My Collection" page (you can click on the link on this line, or the link at the top of each page). Today I added a couple beautiful genuine leather Bibles to my collection: one is a Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), and the other is a King James Version (KJV). The HCSB is a "Minister's Edition," so it's quite nice. There is only one marking that I can find in it, on the dedication page, where it looks like someone began to write his/her name, and then crossed it out. Other than that, it's in great condition, really soft supple leather with two marker ribbons. (UPDATE: on further examination, I did find that the previous owner had made notes on several pages in the Gospels of Luke and John, so it's not in quite as good shape as I initially thought. Still, marks in used Bibles have never bothered me, and it's still a nice Bible to use as a regular go-to.) The KJV is published by First Word Publishers, and it's also a beautifully soft leather, with THREE marker ribbons! These Bibles are about as premium as my collection ever gets, and they were much cheaper than most premium Bibles would be. Nevertheless, I think they are great additions to my library, and I intend to use them regularly (especially that HCSB).
