This is a hand-bound edition of the Bible in the English Standard Version. It’s the ESV Personal Reference Bible printed by Crossway. The font size is 8.00 and it is highly portable. The semi-yap cover for this rebind is premium veg-tanned black Barcelona goatskin from Siegel Leather, and the lining is black goatskin. The perimeter lining is stitched by hand using saddle stitching, which is stronger and more durable than machine stitching. Very few premium Bibles are stitched by hand — this part alone generally takes a couple of hours of skilled labor to complete.  The spine is reinforced with a fresh piece of bookbinding cloth and PVA glue. It has black headbands and three double satin ribbons — two navy blue and one gold. The spine has three raised hubs and it says “Holy Bible” and “ESV” in gold foil stamping.
