But I have many Bible that are falling apart, and I don't want to destroy them, anybody know what I can do with them? The ancient Hebrews used to bury old scrolls of scripture, but I don't know if it was intended to be more like a funeral service. I was thinking the same thing but in a different way...... why not a time capsule, include a note with why you have buried it and the date.

Are you joking? You mean the antique writing annoys you? If you have a genuine original (not a reprint), I think they would be worth a lot of money. As you no doubt know, one can get a book rebound. No I don't have a genuine original (sorry about the statement should have been clearer) , they both are reprints. From the 1599 Geneva Bible And Iefus wept. Iohn 11:35 16) Reioyce euemore. 17) Pray continually.

There are rebinding services out there but I have no idea what that might cost. It may be an option especially for Bibles that are family heirlooms, etc. I had a bible that was coming apart and took it to a local Amish lady who does book re-binding. I dropped off my bible one afternoon and then a couple weeks later I paid around $15 and got it back good as new! I too too would suggest finding someone who could fix them for you.

Personally I wouldn't do that. It seems disrespectful to the Word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
