The folks over at In A Shoe have a family business. They sell pages from Geneva Bibles that are over 400 years old. They don't destroy an old Bible. Here is what their page says about where they get the pages from:
Pages like ours come from “breaker books.” These are books that have become too damaged over the centuries to retain their value as collectors’ items. Instead, the salvageable portions are preserved as fragments - collections of leaves or individual leaves like ours.
So please rest assured: no Bibles were harmed in the creation of these magnificent treasures. Rather, we hope to preserve these irreplaceable fragments of our Christian heritage for generations to come.
They over ordered - double actually - our stock, but instead of sending it back they decided to keep it and put their inventory on sale. They are running a 40% off sale over at Geneva Bible Pages. We've even created a special Family Bundle at 50% off!
Go check out their page and help this family out and get a treasure for your home or as a gift.
Also, if you post about it you will be entered to win 4 items of your choice which could be a $400 retail value.
