ESV Heirloom Bible, Alpha Personal Size - Cowhide, British Tan

A Bible made to be handed down — crafted in the Netherlands, bound in full-grain cowhide, and guaranteed for as long as you use it.

Each ESV Heirloom Bible is printed and bound by Jongbloed in the Netherlands using the finest materials available. The Alpha edition balances readability with portability: an elegant double-column setting in a compact trim that fits in a bag or rests easily in one hand.

The British Tan cover is full-grain, aniline-dyed cowhide, carefully selected and fashioned by hand. Every hide carries its own natural markings, so no two Bibles are alike, and the leather will darken and soften with years of use. Inside, thin yet opaque Indopaque paper from Bolloré, line-matched text, red-over-gold art gilding, and three ribbon markers make it as pleasant to read as it is to hold. It arrives in a presentation box, ready to give.
