Aug. 2016 UPDATE: Leonard's Books informed me as follows: "pigskins and the lambskins aren't on the price list anymore, pretty much for the reasons you mentioned. Pigskins tend to be too hard and lambskins tend to be too soft."

I’m dropping off my Bible today to Leonard’s. So cool that I found your video
You won't regret it, Rhonda. Leonard's does great work!
A well used Bible, speaks volumes about its owner!
👍🇺🇸✝️🛐
Ronnie, the great thing about the full grain leather rebinding is that even if you read your Bible every single day, it stands up well over time. Honestly, the cover still looks about as good as it did when it was freshly rebound. It's pretty amazing. I agree with what you said though. It's unfortunate that so many Christians read their Bibles so infrequently that it never needs to be rebound.
This is the best rebind review I've ever seen. This was very helpful for me. Thank you! :)
Thank you for your kind comment, Ruben. The inspiration for my creating the video was the fact I couldn't find any other video that contained such information. Knowing how useful such a video would have been for me prior to purchase, I decided to make the video to provide that assistance to others following in my steps. Best wishes to you on your book or Bible rebind!
It looks great. I am glad you are pleased.
My main bible, "The One", is also a Leonard's rebind as well. I had mine done in goatskin & their work is incredible.
Agreed. The overall cost is certainly not cheap, but that price does reflect the high quality of their workmanship. My Bible is still holding up great now in April 2020, and to be honest, it still looks and feels as new as when I first got it back from Leonard's!
@@JDW- Agreed! I had mine rebound in 2011. I put it to heavy use, I read through it about 4 to 5 times a year. When all was said & done I spent about $325 on mine (& I live in Texas!). After I received it I even had it sent to Ross Gage to put the indexing in it, because I love indexed bibles. But I don't care, it is vitally important to me & I treasure it. I'd do it all over again.
I absolutely love the color choice, I'd pick the same color myself if I'd ordered it. The leather is excellent and the video is very nice. I have like 18 Bibles and just started looking into a nice high quality (lather) Bible. I was wondering about the different leathers used for bindings. Thank you. God bless you.
Thank you for your kind comment, Nicholas. Best wishes!
18 Bibles?! And so many in the world don't even have one.
I'm getting some rebinds done here and there - one I bought alread rebound anothr i sent to get in line for their choice (curious to see what I'll get!), and I took 2 Bibles and an old hymnal to a local shop to see how I like their work. they were very nice and I got to feel the leather. they do paste down which I think will be fine and I like picking my colors. but I worked a lot of overtime and decided to spend some on this. these local weren't as expensive so Im hoping I really like them! no shipping and about 15-20 minutes from w here I live.
Oddly relaxing...
that's so beautiful!!
Thank you. I'm pleased to report that it's still in good condition to this very day. The leather used is incredibly durable.
@@JDW- glad to hear! I was wondering if you were still happy with it! It's a beautiful color and leather
The reason you see the perimeter on the outside cover is because they didn't put a leather liner and it's a paper paste down on the inside. A leather liner on the inside instead of a paper paste down would have eliminated that pronounced raised edge on the outside perimeter
Really? Because even if you put leather inside, you still have "fold-over." It's the fold-over that is creating the "bump" round the rim of the front and back cover. From what recall that I was told by Leonard's, some leathers they use allow them to scrape off the excess so a fold-over looks less like a bump, but I think they told me that wasn't available on the particular leather I chose. There's a book-binder's terms for that "scraping" (thinning out) but I forgot what it is.
@@JDW- it's called "skiving" it does thin out the leather and allows for a cleaner look and makes it easier to do the corner work. It's hard to do fold overs and corners if the leather is too thick, but the reason that "bump" is there is because there is no leather liner to "match up" to the edges of the fold over. It's just a paper material that is glued to the other side/ inside of the cover which allows the fold over to protrude onto the other side. I line match my Bibles where the cover and the liner match up or butt up to each other that gives it a clean smooth look on the cover. I see that "bump" on most "paste down" lined Bibles because even with a "fold over" WITH a leather liner you will not have that bump around the rim of the cover...that bump around the rim of the cover is indicative to paste down liners
@@delgadorebinds987 Thank you for explaining. I looked through my old 2015 emails with Leonard's Books, and I see that I tried to work with them to eliminate the rim bump, but this is what they told me at the time...
"Our covers will have that because yes, that's the folded edge. The way to reduce that would be to skive the edges, but we don't do that, sorry. I do think the River Grain goatskin doesn't have that problem. We don't line the insides of most of our covers with anything but standard leatherette (full pastedown end pages) or sometimes silk moire (also full pastedown end pages). Some other places may do skiving, but ... we just don't."
@@JDW- unless someone has a skiving machine, skiving is definitely a "skill" in leather work and takes a steady hand and time to accomplish good results. I just wanted to kind of explain why that bump is there, but you have a beautiful rebind. Your choice for the cover was nice... I like it
@@delgadorebinds987 Thank you for the kind feedback. It has held up well, looking quite similar today as it did brand new in my video (6 years ago).
Thanks for the details and care in your video. Much appreciated.
Thank you for your kind comment, Dallas!
Thank you for your kindness in the vid and the response to my query
You're welcome. I'm always happy to answer any questions!
The reason why you can't roll it up is because the inside of the cover is paper (like you said), if it were leather lined on the inside, it would feel much softer and would roll up like other videos show. If you ever get it rebound, or rebind a different Bible, you may want to think about getting the least expensive leather, and have it leather lined, instead of picking a more expensive leather and having it paste down with paper.
I starting to learn how to rebind, it's not too hard if you have the time to learn.
Yes, but a leather-lined cover would have cost more too, which is one reason I did not opt for it. Yet another reason I choose the "thicker cowhide" from Leonard's is because it would result in the thickest cover overall - thicker than a leather-lined cover. A study Bible is quite large, and I wanted a fairly thick cover, in hopes such would be more durable and last longer.
As to rebinding myself, I live in Japan and have fewer options to source leathers. Furthermore, I lack time and desire to do the job myself. Being a perfectionist, it would be a source of great stress to me. Better leave such to the experts who have experience, I say.
I was just gifted my great grandmother's Bible and it's falling apart. I'm afraid to even breathe near it lol thinking about trying to get it repaired.
You can see the great work of Leonard's. They are pricey but worth it. If you have a Bible with no notes, then it is probably not worth it. The reason to get a Bible rebound is either because it has notes inside or it was gifted from a family member and has sentimental value.
Perfect work!!
Could you maybe make a follow up video so we can see how it looks now with a few years of use under its belt? They seem to have done great work!
Thank you for your comment. The only reason I’m not made a follow up video is because the cover looks almost 100% the same as it did when I got it back from Leonard’s. This thing is amazingly durable despite my reading my Bible every single day. I don’t even notice fold marks. It’s nothing like the cheap pigskin original cover that comes with most Bibles you buy. I made the right choice in selecting what I did. You will certainly be pleased if you choose the same.
Beautiful Recover! Did they gild the pages too?
Thank you. No, they did not gild the pages because they didn't have to. The gold you see in my video is the original. For rebinding they are great, if a bit pricey. But if you need re-guilding, Leonard's unfortunately does not offer that service, as per their web page on the subject here: www.leonardsbooks.com/what-we-can-do/
Very nice. I must ask Leonard's about doing pebble grain cowhide or bomber cowhide rebind for me...
Than you for your comment, Grant. They are not cheap, but neither is their quality. I must say that Leonard's really does very good work. Despite my daily use, the Bible shown in my video still looks to me about as new as it did the day I got it back from Leonard's. The quality if the leather matters quite a bit when it comes to durability and longevity.
The original cover was a bonded leather. You can tell by the delaminatation at the edges of the spine.
You are probably right. But the new cover is not bonded, quite thick, well-made, and should last many years. I'm very pleased with the work of Leonard's Books.
I think you made a good decision to get it rebound in a thicker leather. Most Bibles are bound in what is called split leather. The hide has been split so as to get two hides out of one, yours is not that but the whole hide. Also when you have had a Bible that long with your notes, underlining etc it is hard to start all over with a new Bible. At least for me it would be. Thanks for sharing....
Thank you for watching and sharing those kind of comments, Ray.
i have an 30 year old ryrie that my bought for me in 1980. Of course it is covered but is sure worn out. I still have it at this time.
Thank you for your comment, Mrs. Gleason. As you can see from my video, I was pleased with my Bible rebinding experience at Leonard's, so of course I am more than happy and confident to recommend them to you:
www.leonardsbooks.com/
the maps on the newer kjv ryies start pulling away from the text block. the front cover does as well. Idk why the quality has dropped. when you get a bible rebound can they fix the maps so that they dont pull out? could they have put art gilt on your bible if you had wanted them to?
My video was made in Jan. 2016. It is now April 2022. So far, my Bible is bound as well as when I received it back from Leonard's. Nothing has been pulled out at all.
@@JDW- could they have put art guilt on the page edges? We’re the maps falling out prior to your rebind?
@@christiancurcio2576 My page edges already had gold gilt on them, although it wasn't 100% pristine as when new. I simply did not ask them to apply more. No pages or maps were falling out originally. It was just the outer leather (pigskin) cover that was breaking apart, which is mainly why I wanted it rebound.
I really need one copy of bible i can't afford share your faith with others
I'm not sure I understand your statement, but if you mean that you cannot afford a paper copy of the Bible, I am sure that visiting a local church or missionary would be the fast and easy way to ask for a copy, which they no doubt would give to you free of charge.
@@JDW- unfortunately we don't have any church in Srinagar Kashmir
@@rafiqshah5009 Even a Catholic church would give you a Bible. It's just that they include the Apocrypha in their Bibles, which is not a part of the 66 books and should not be taken as God's Word. Here's a URL I found about a church in your area: www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/srinagars-oldest-church-closed-for-decades-opens-ahead-of-christmas-101640239446517.html
Million dollar tract I think comes from living waters ministry, Ray comfort is the founder.
God bless
I wondered why you didnt just go to a japanese book binder. I know that in japan they have bookbinders.
Thank you for your question. Although I've lived in Japan since 1994, I was originally born in California and speak English natively. Dealing with people in English will always be easier than in Japanese, even though my Japanese language ability is quite good now. And while there are book binders here, a lot of the Japanese Bibles I have seen are very subpar in quality which doesn't give me confidence in book binders here. If you see genuine leather on a Japanese Bible, it is usually a cover someone bought for it. Furthermore, a lot of Japanese book binders don't show details of their work online and certainly don't mail you samples of their leather like Leonard's Books. Lastly, Leonard's Books is a Christian-owned business who I wished to support with my business.
what finesse
What study bible is your favorite?
Joseph, I like the Ryrie KJV Study Bible shown in this video. But I don't always agree with his "copyist error" remarks scattered throughout the Old Testament when certain numbers are hard for him to explain." So when I disagree with Ryrie, I put my own notes in the Bible to express my disagreement, for myself and for my children in the future when I give this Bible to them. But I must say that I also love Warren Wiersbe's Be Series Commentary on the whole Bible. And I also have the Macintosh Online Bible Deluxe CD which includes a huge number of commentaries and different Bible versions.
What's the music you are playing?.
Music that TH-cam didn't flag as being copyrighted, thank goodness! :-) Being the sound guy at our church here in Japan, I digitally record each service, including our choir. The background music (except for Amazing Grace at the end) is our choir signing in Japanese. You can read more details in the text description underneath my video above.
How much was it it's good job
Too much, honestly. I live in Japan. I paid them $17.10 for the samples shown in my video. I then paid about $25 to ship my Bible (25x17x4.5cm) and the samples back to them. They credited me $10 for the samples, which didn't include the $7.10 in shipping the samples to me, of course. After they received my bonded leather Bible, they quoted me $199.40. I told them I shipped the samples back, and that price dropped to $189.40. So in total, I paid $7.10 + $25 + 189.40 = $221.50. They did a wonderful job. But I cannot afford to do any other Bible because, being a family man, I just don't have the money. So if you have a rather large study Bible you are considering having rebound, keep in mind it will cost you around $200, even if you are based in the US and the shipping is cheaper. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Did you chose to go with a paste down liner due to cost?
Leather liners weren't (and still aren't) offered with the "Cherry Bomber" thick full-grain leather cover that I chose. In 2012, Leonard's wrote an article explaining why they did not offer leather liners at all: bit.ly/38fooYO
Then in 2013, Leonard's added two types of covers that would be available with leather liners (but not including the thick full-grain leather cover types): bit.ly/3hFz46e
All said, a leather liner must be a very thin leather and even then it will add stiffness to the cover. My Cherry Bomber cover is a very thick leather, so adding a leather liner would make it stiffer. Leonard's does not say if that alone is the reason they still don't offer leather liners for the "bomber" style full grain leather covers. But maybe if you wrote to them and asked they might offer a more detailed explanation: eric@leonardsbooks.com
@@JDW- that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. They did great work.
@@jaklein030178 They really did do a great job. Despite reading the Bible daily, I must say the cover looks about as new as it did when I first got it back from Leonards. The thick full-grain leather I chose really is a world of difference from the stock pigskin you get with most Bibles. It's not cheap to rebind a Bible, but it's built to last.
I’ve been a bit of a low to mid end bible collector and I ask because I found this same bible at a used bookstore unmarked. Not nearly as old but a 1995 version.
@@jaklein030178 Well, obviously you will loose any external markings that were on the original cover when you have a Bible rebound, but that wasn't such a big deal for me. That loss may be a big deal for collectors who would glass-case the books rather than get practical use from them.
What is for Ryrie Study Bible? What does "Study Bible" mean?
Thank you for your questions. A “study Bible“ is simply a Bible that has an explanatory commentary inside. The presence of a commentary can help in the understanding of difficult passages in the Bible, but of course we put the priority on the words of the Bible text above any human written commentary. Ryrie is the last name of the Christian gentleman who authored the commentary with in the Bible you seen my video. His full name is Charles Ryrie. I don’t always agree with every comment he makes but I do find some of the commentary quite helpful as I read the Bible daily.
JDW Oh, thank you for explonation. Might be really helpful for understanding the text, because where I live, in orthodox Russia, the Bible is written in Church Slavonic and not every Bible has Russian translation. I would be satisfied if my Church Slavonic Bible get the explonation, eh... (To be honest I am not very christian, but some of my relatives are)
too annoying the sound, you speak toooooooooooo much!!!
It could be pointed out that you failed to properly capitalize your sentence. Your punctuation is also incorrect. You created a run-on sentence by combining two separate sentences with a comma. Such critical observations are rooted in truth, yet they are not very pleasant to hear. That's why it's better to contemplate more balanced way to offer your sentiments to others. For example you could have instead said, "I somewhat liked your video, but I thought you talked a bit too much because I like videos with less commentary." That would have been a well-reasoned yet honest criticism that obviously was authored by an educated mind. At times when you feel you could not be so balanced, it would perhaps be most prudent to simply not say anything at all.
Videos you watch here on TH-cam were created by your fellow man who share the same feelings you have. Strive to treat others in the same way you yourself would want to be treated. Doing so usually works out well everyone in the end. Have a great day!
Nobody forces anybody to watch anything.
@@JDW- it's fine. I greatly enjoyed your video.
