4 Reasons to Consider a Cloth Over Board Bible
Why Cloth Over Board?
There are many important features to consider when purchasing a new Bible, and its aesthetic appeal is one that tops the list for many. Knowing that people frequently use the same Bible edition for years at a time, Crossway's Design team is constantly working to create attractive and timeless cover designs for all types of Bible readers.
Drawing on inspiration from classic book designs, Crossway's cloth over board editions offer the following benefits:
- Timeless designs - with 20+ designs to choose from, you’re sure to find one that will fit your personality
- Durable construction - the cloth material is stretched over a rigid board, protecting the sewn binding and pages within while also allowing the Bible to lay open and flat from Genesis to Revelation
- Affordable price - cloth over board editions are the middle ground between a basic hardcover edition and a TruTone or leather edition
- Permanent slipcase - the majority of cloth over board editions are packaged in a beautifully designed, permanent slipcase
With these benefits in mind, consider whether or not your next Bible purchase will be a cloth over board edition from Crossway.
