It's hard to get a plain black Bible anymore...almost everything comes with a design. So which of these Bibles would you prefer? They are the same ESV Bible, just different cover designs...

Chestnut Crown of Thorns:

Harvest Horizon:

I have one that is a charcoal grey with a celtic design cross pattern on it. I guess they're not offering that one anymore.
 
:offtopic:

Hope this doesn't sound too cynical, but I wouldn't spend too much time and effort on choosing which one to pick, because you'll be exchanging it in 3-4 months after the binding comes apart (probably at just a few pages inside the front cover).

I love the ESV. But I'm getting weary of taking them back.
 
Larry,

I noticed those were the designs for the compact ESV Bibles, I did find one Black leather bound compact ESV on Amazon. You may want to check this one out as well!

Yes, i have one of those. The ones that i was asking about are "Deluxe Compact" so they are slightly larger and easier to read, but still fit nicely in my Bible holster.

The regular compact ones fit nicely into my smaller holster, but are too small in print to read comfortably.

The problem with the brown one is the Crown of Thorns on it. Not sure I'd like to have that on my Bible cover.
 
anyone of them, as long as the inside in good (KJV preferably).

Can always stick a cover around it, presume that no commandment is broken by glueing something over the binding?

I do think i'm going to stick with my good ol' KJV.
No reason to fix what isn't broken.

It's black leather, sewn binding, and the only thing imprinted on the front cover is "Holy Bible"

ahhh...the elegance of simplicity!

If you want, get a Deluxe Compact Edition. They are Smyth Sewn. Or, get an Allans. One is a cheaper. I'll let you take your guess.
 
A plain black Bible is pretty easy to find, actually. ;-) I appreciate the various cover choices -- they're all pretty tasteful and attractive -- but my most recent Bible purchase for myself was a plain black cover as well. Planning on having it re-bound by Mechling someday soon, though.

I did get this one for my wife a couple of Christmases ago, though...

None of them. Pay the extra money to get a black genuine leather, or another color of choice. Genuine leather is not much more and will hold up and look nicer for years to come. I buy nothing less since my bonded leather Thompson Chain started falling apart the first year I had it. The Thompson Chain I have now is almost ten years old. I study from it everyday and just put mink oil on it this week, which I do once a year. The leather looks nicer than the first day I bought it. :2cents:
 
The "TruTone" covers (the synthetic leathers you see there) have been shown to be far more durable than bonded leather covers. Not that that's too difficult to be better than bonded leather.

A good site for this sort of info, by the way: Bible Design and Binding
 
I picked the brown one but only if I had to choose between those 3 otherwise I would choose something like that one Yvonne sugested
 
My daughter has the Crossroads Design Bible. It is a very well bound Bible. The print though small is very readable.
 
What no "Life Recovery Bible," "Hands on Bible (NLT)," "The Message/Remix PAUSE," "Golfer's Bible," "Veggie Tales Bible," "Extreme Faith Youth Bible: Contemporary English Version (CEV)," "Max Lucado Devotional Bible," or "Precious Moments Bible"???

I vote for the "NCV Blossom: The Complete New Testament for Girls."

I'm just not sure that Allans makes a cover for it. Lawrence?
