Tyndale Select Insert
11/06/2007 09:13 Filed in: Faith & Reason
The new calfskin Tyndale Selects were released in October in both "ebony" and "mahogany" calfskin covers with Smyth Sewn bindings. No, I do not have one as the $135 price is a bit outside this student's range. However, this is undoubtedly the finest quality NLT ever produced, and a number of This Lamp readers have shown interest in this Bible in the past.
So while I don't have access to a copy of this Bible (and I am not even sure it will be stocked in the stores locally because of its price), I have gained access to the text copy from the Tyndale Select insert. I am reproducing it below because I know a number of you will find it interesting.

TYNDALE SELECT BIBLE CARE
Congratulations on owning Tyndale Select, the highest quality binding available in the New Living Translation. or a lifetime of use, take note of these tips to protect your investment:
- SPINE FLEXIBILITY
The durable Smyth Sewn binding should be gently stretched as soon as you bring it home so it will remain flexible for decades to come. Hold the closed Bible in one hand with the spine flat on a table. Then hold all of the pages together and let the covers slowly fall to the table. Next take a series of pages from the front of the Bible and lay them down, running your fingers across the top page, near the crease, pressing gently. Sill holding most of the pages upright in your hand, repeat, taking a section of pages from the back of the Bible. Continue repeating this process, first on one side and then on the other, until the entire Bible has been opened into two even halves.
- MARKING
A well-marked Bible with personal notes will become very valuable to you as a companion and customized reference tool. Do not use felt-tip or roller points, as these will often bleed through the pages. Instead, use a pencil or ball point pen or a special Bible marking highlighter or pen, available at most Christian bookstores.
- LEATHER CARE
The best way to care for the calfskin leather cover is to use it. The natural oils from your hands actually nourish the leather fibers. To clean dirt or spills, dab with a soft cloth dampened with water and mild detergent, without getting the leather too wet. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth to remove soap residue. Dry with a clean soft towel.
GUARANTEED FOR LIFE
Premier quality materials and meticulous old world craftmanship come together to create a cherished heirloom. Carry this Bible and appreciate every word knowing the truth it contains--and the Bible itslef--will be a part of a legacy to the next generation.
