For clarity, in response to the concerns expressed in the comments - our website cannot manage stock so it may take more orders than we have Bibles to fulfil them. Please note that we NEVER charge anyone's card until their specific Bible is ready too ship.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE TUES 10 JUNE: Hi everyone - we have been working through our Seconds and first out of the blocks are a handful of copies of ESV NC1 Black Silver Lines. NB. These are 2011 text ESV.

When the 63 Longprimer Sovereign Grey-with-Red first came along, we had technical difficulties with the gilding, so we took the tough decision to sell the whole production as a 'Special Purchase' at a sizeable discount.

Although it had been stamped as a 'Limited Edition', we said at the time that with such a great colour combination we would reserve the right to return to it at some point - and we're delighted now to announce the return of the Grey-with-Red combo for the 63. Enjoy!
