The Open-Flat Bible

The Open-Flat Bible

The latest achievement in the art of Bible making is the new “open-flat” Bible brought out this year. The special feature of this Bible consists of a patent binding, by the use of which the back of the Bible is preserved perfectly round, and yet, when the Bible is opened, it lies perfectly flat in the hand or on the table. This is secured by fastening the leaves together at the back in such a manner that they are not attached to the outside cover. The advantages are at once apparent. First, the Bible opens perfectly flat; second, the original round back is preserved; third, it is almost impossible for the leaves ever to come loose, for the strain does not come on the outer binding, but on the inner lining.

In addition to the “open-flat” feature, the Bible is printed with black-faced type, and is self-pronouncing.
