This is a deliberately playful cover based on Keith Foskey’s denominations parody videos. In these, the Presbyterian labels himself as possessing “Superior Theology,” as seen for example in The Denominations Order Coffee. We thought it would be fun to make one of these for real.
This is a premium rebind of the Westminster Confession of Faith. The book block is the Puritan Paperback edition from Banner of Truth. The paper is “pretty heavy” in their own words (heavier than standard 20lb), and it has a sewn binding. The spine is a bit stiff, but will ease up some with use.
The cover for this rebind is premium veg-tanned navy blue river grain 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.
The spine was reinforced with a fresh piece of bookbinding cloth and PVA glue. It has black headbands and one bronze double satin ribbon. The spine has three raised hubs and it says “Superior Theology” in gold foil stamping on the cover.
