Best Bible Binders!

[jbergsing]

I've had four ESV Bibles from Crossway and they keep saying that they have changed binders but I've been very disappointed with them. I'd be willing to pay extra for a good binding. Thanks for the tip sir.

Oh man, I thought it was just me! I'm on my third. Unreal how poor in quality these things are. Now to convince my wife the higher end bible is worth it...

I just used the currency converter on Allan's site. An ESV that costs 85 British pounds costs $168 American. That's a lot of schmundo for a Bible...

You are right that is a lot of money...atleast by today's standards in "Bible Retail".

I imagine that the bible binding business is a tough market if you do not mass produce junk.

Personally, I have burned through alot of cheap bibles over the past few years, and if Allan's bible's last half as long as they say... it is worth it. I figure since I pay at least $50 dollars a month for a cell phone...$168 for the word of God over the next ten, fifteen, twenty years is nothing considering it is the most important possesion I have.

Very good point. I know people who have payed 50 bucks for a Zondervan Bible that have fallen apart in 4 years. If you read your Bible a lot 168 dollars in an "investment" in the word of God is a bargain, as far as an Allan....if you don't drop it in a swimming pool, it will be something you can leave to your children.

I also purchased one and gave it as a surprise gift to a dear friend. It was absolutely gorgeous and he couldn't believe it.
