Welcome to Bible Design Blog

Bible Design Blog, as the name suggests, is a site dedicated to the physical form of the Good Book. Innovative design, quality binding, that's what it's all about. If you're looking for information about a particular edition, the right-hand column includes an ever-expanding list of reviews and features. 

If this is your first visit, a great place to start is the Frequently Asked Questions. And don't forget the search function! 

Selling a vintage Bible? Looking for something rare or unique? This is the thread for you. To help connect buyers and sellers, I've created this Auctions & Sales post as a master list, and I invite those of you who'd like to share auction and sales listings to post them as a comment to this thread.

This post will stay at the top of the roll for easy access. Listings posted to other posts will be deleted (I'm sorry, but I don't have the know-how to transfer them). Buyers, please keep in mind that you're dealing directly with sellers, and I won't be able to offer any dispute resolution, so caveat emptor
