Custom Bible Covers from Renaissance Art

You don't have to rebind your Bible to add a nice cover. As Robert Jimenez reports at Weird Thinkers, you can look up the fine folks at Renaissance Art and order a custom leather book cover. Robert's, which set him back just under $40, fits quite nicely and arrived in a matter of days. Follow the link to his site for photos.

Renaissance Art made a leather cover for my wide margin teaching Bible. It's rugged, durable, and still smells like the pasture the cow used to eat. (That is a good thing for someone who grew up on the prairie.)

I just got the cover I had custom-made from RA in the mail today, and it is fantastic. A good (and cheaper) alternative to rebinding.

I decided to try the RA bible cover (brown) for my 2 study bibles - and they are truly more than what I expected. Beautiful, rugged, soft, & excellent workmanship. And yes, the smell was fabulous.

Only 1 "complain" though - they get "scratch-marks" easily.

Minnie,
For small quantities, I think you just need to find someone who does "tooling" in leather. Shoe repair shops can be good places to start looking for leather workers.

For larger quantities, you probably want to talk to some of the rebinding houses that get mentioned on this blog. They'll be more familiar with making custom dies that can fit into stamping machines.

But if you just want a name or simple text, don't overlook your neighborhood Christian Book Store. They have gold foil and little presses of movable type for imprinting names on Bibles for ~$10. They can do other text as well, within reason.
