With the recent interest in reader-friendly Bibles, I was pleased to receive these photos from Emmanuel Deligiannis, who sent his copy of Zondervan's NIV Books of the Bible to Leonard's Book Restoration for rebinding. I wrote about the original edition of this format from International Bible Society back in 2007. Here's Emmanuel:

I just wanted to share with you some photos of a Bible I had rebound by Leonard's. I learned about them from your blog and I couldn't be happier with how this turned out. My photos are nowhere near as good as the ones you take, but I hope you enjoy them. The Bible I had rebound was a hardcover edition of Zondervan's NIV Books of the Bible. It's similar to the ESV Readers Edition, only they separate the text differently and have alternate sequence to the books within. Here's how it came out.
