Leather Bindings
Schuyler binds their Bibles in the finest natural grain leathers that have not been embossed to hide imperfections. These may include neck wrinkles, natural fat stripes, minor scars and scratches, small natural dark spots, and other natural markings revealing the life of the animal. Leather colors and textures can vary from batch to batch, and even within bindings. Each cover is truly unique!
Schuyler Bibles
There is an incredible international collaboration that produces the Schuyler Bible. (see the Schuyler film for a visualization) The Schuyler Bible is an international enterprise that spans about 10 nations and 3 continents and is the result of countless hours of design and detail work and the resulting synergy of 3 principal companies. Hundreds of hours go into the design of the typesetting as well as the actual book design. The design process is conceived in the United States (Schuyler Bibles) and perfected in Denmark (2K/Denmark). Weeks of collaborative work go into choosing spacing, font, format, size – and this list is just the beginning. After dozens of sample pages are produced – a final draft is confirmed and then a 6-8 month process begins in actually arranging about 800,000 words into the typesetting design. The Bible presents many major challenges for the typesetter – not only due to its length, but because formats change in prose and poetry, cross references, footnotes, superscripts, and the list of Bible idiosyncrasies is numerous.
