To mark the official launch of the ESV Reader's Bible, Six-Volume Set, Crossway has released a new promotional video and a dedicated website: ReadersBible.org.

Introducing the 'ESV Reader's Bible, Six-Volume Set' from Crossway on Vimeo.

The new video includes the earlier scenes from L.E.G.O. I shared in my original post, along with a lot more detail about the design and execution of the set. Fair warning: If you don't plan to buy one of these Bibles, don't watch the video. It chronicles every painstaking detail in loving close-ups and captures what Erik Maldre, Crossway's director of design, describes as the "reverent joy" with which the ESV Reader's Bible, Six-Volume Set was created.
