I recently had my ESV PRB sent off to Leonard's Rebinding to have it rebound for about $90. I can't wait to do a review of it on my blog. I enjoy your blog and I pray that you have a very merry Christmas. Good post. I recently had my ESV PRB sent off to Leonard’s Rebinding to have it rebound for about $90.

It's nice to know there are a couple of sewn TruTone editions! Yes, Erik, thanks for sharing your find! It’s nice to know there are a couple of sewn TruTone editions!

Your find on that blog was great. I called Crossway and found out that their original black true-tone is still glued, but that those two newer versions are in fact sewn. They said they'd probably get the black sewn when they finally sell out of them. Wow, thanks Erik! Your find on that blog was great.

Here it the link: http://www.esv.org/blog/2008/05/summer.2008.esvs Yes, yes, and yes!!!!!!!!! :-) It feels so good to know that in the future I can put cowhide, calfskin or the granddaddy of them all, highland goatskin on my Bible because of it being sewn and NOT glued. ;) I just checked the ESV Blog and two of the TruTone Personal Size Reference Bibles are in fact, SEWN.

Your review mentioned that the soft cover PSRB’s are glued. I looked on the binding and it looked like it might have been sewn, however that wasn’t really what made me think this. What makes me think that it was sewn or have at least a “hybrid” glue binding is the fact that there are threads every 64 pages following page 17 (Genesis 19 & 20). Maybe I’m just wishful thinking, but I think this ESV Personal Size Reference Bible just might be at least a mixture of both sewn and glued. Let me know what you think about this. Keep posting such fantastic reviews! Thanks, - Erik Anna,

I do like the cool mint cover, too. And even the genuine leather is cheaper there than it is on Amazon.com (although I don't know how shipping would affect that). Thanks for that link, Rachael!

So cute, first of all :) (nice green cover). Also appears to have the ability to stay open (well I guess my tiny one does that as well). And the one column thing is really neat. Here's a link to Westminster Bookstore, where you can order it for $16.49: http://www.wtsbooks.com/category-exec/category_id/572/nm/Personal_20Size_20Reference_20Bibles/parent_id/21 Hey – I think I came across this post some time ago, but today I actually SAW the one column ESL Bible and it’s really neat.

If you really like it, don't give in to all this ESV pressure! :-P My friend who kept the TruTone really likes the NASB as well. The poetic books have a lot of extra white space; I don't think the other margins are especially big. There's a PDF sample of Matthew <a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/assets/bibles/esv.single.column.reference.sample.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Stephanie, I think the NASB is my second favorite.

I've always used NASB though, so I don't think I'll change...that could mess with all that I've memorized...since childhood. I see big margins, and I love big margins :-) Are all the pages like that, or just the Poetic books? ESV popularity seems to be popping up all over the place!

I did finally buy a ESV and have found it really nice to read. I really like the layout of this Bible though... I wonder if it would be bad to invest in another one? :) Thanks for such a great review! This has been really interesting to read (and I thought the pictures were good too!)
