Seriously Tyndale, someone read these posts. There is demand for a well made leather Bible. Crossway makes some very nice Bibles, give them a call and see how they do it.

@Paul, Tyndale is releasing a Tyndale Select genuine leather slimline in January 2011 – see http://www.amazon.com/Tyndale-Select-NLT/dp/1414349394

Gwen, Barb, and Robert: You can buy binders glue and repair the binding; sorry you should need to do that!

Unfortunately, my NLT has done the same thing, and like some of the others, I haven’t been anxious about replacing it because I have personal notes and study notes that I don’t want to part with. Mine started coming apart at the map section. However, it seems the stitching is acting like perforation – almost like the stitch holes are much too large; therefore, its allowing the pages to pull free. Any suggestions? I really don’t want to give this up. It’s slim yet large enough to read, and I’m really enjoying this version.

Regarding an earlier post regarding his New Living Translation bible falling apart. Mine had done the same thing, not long after I received it from a friend as a gift. I have kept it, but not able to travel with it cause it comes apart. I would normally just replace it, but my good friend wrote a beautiful sentiment in its cover page and the date – it’s when we became friends!!!

Any ideas?

I’ve used my NTL (c)1996 (ISBN 0-8423-8424-6)) Genuine Leather Slimline for about 8 years as my travel Bible (I travel weekly) and I love it. The binding, leather, fonts, size – everything about makes it the perfect heavy use travel Bible. It’s worn so well that it’s better now than when it was new. I’ve been searching for the (c)2007 equivalent but it’s not to be found. The new Slimlines have lowered the quality of the font and page layout, and I can’t find them in genuine leather. The NLT Select looks is the type of leather and binding I’m looking for, but the large font is clunky and it’s a bit too large for a road warrior. I bought the Cambridge NLT Pitt Minion, but returned it – the 6.75 point font was too small. There’s a market for very high quality leather and bindings in a portable Bible. Please offer a Slimline Select, or the same leather Slimline I have of the ©1996 version. And thanks for a great translation.

Will you be producing the NLT Application Study Bible in a slimline edition similar to the NLT Large Print (9.4 type)Premium Slimline reference (2007) any time soon?

I am looking for the NLT Application Bible in large print that has less than 3200 pages and weighs less than 4.5 lbs.

I’m sorry to hear that Robert. Were there extreme temperature conditions when you did stretched it? Life Application Study Bibles were constructed to last. Give our customer service department a call and they might be able to help you out. (1-800-323-9400)

I’ve done this on most every hardback and leather-bound book I have bought over the years, and it usually works… unfortunately, my NLT Life Application Study Bible is one of only two books I can think of that it didn’t help with… I have already lost the front and back sections, and others seem to be coming loose. The only other book I have done the SpineStrech with that subsequently had problems was a hardback novel I bought about five years ago.
