Instead buy a leather zipper cover or better yet a simulated leather cover and put them over your scriptures for full-time protection - even when you are reading them. If you are going on a foreign or southern states mission consider NOT purchasing leather covered scriptures. If you don't know the reason why these type scripture book covers are so desirable over a tote-type cover let me explain. Triple combinations, Bible, Quad and foreign languages (Spanish triple fatter than English?) ![]() For compact, Standard and large scriptures. ![]() here they are - in all colors, quality fabrics, Leather, simulated leather, vinyl, etc. Im not sure why it was not so easily searchable from my previous searches but if you are looking for these - as several other people posted they were. Here is a website that I finally discovered. Unfortunately Missionaries are not currently being allowed to use digital scriptures. Well not counting the iphone and iPad versions that everyone uses now for convenience at church. It seem that only "tote bags" are popular for scriptures these days. even searched online and I could not find the type of covers I had on my scriptures when I went on my mission 30 years ago. I looked at all the LDS bookstores close to my home - Seagull and Deseret book stores. Okay this was something that I thought had become outdated. Zipper scripture covers that snugly fit around the books so you don't have to remove them when you want to read your scriptures. Get your tiny or snapped or burgundy scriptures while you can.I found the covers that I thought were no-longer made for my son who wanted them for his mission scriptures. But for the rest of us, it’s pretty amazing how much the information age has brought parity to the world of holy writ. Remember before the smartphone when one could saunter over to Deseret Book and buy the digital scriptures for use on a Palm Pilot? Remember how insanely cool that was and how jealous you were of your technologically advanced friends? You don’t? Then you are clearly too young and probably only look at Instagram. And here you thought the robots had taken all our jobs. Something fascinating from the article was the reveal that the process to put thumb tabs in scriptures was only recently semi-automated it’s been done manually for all these years. Kelly Gibson, a scripture product manager for the Church, explains that the moves are also in an effort to boost “equity across languages,” elaborating that most languages only have three or four options available for printed scriptures, and this will sort of remove English primacy when it comes to printed scripture development. “Many people, from managers and linguists, to skilled producers, designers, typesetters, and press professionals help to inform all the improvements that are being made.” “Where can we improve, and what would save either time or resources?” said Brent Meisinger, a product manager in the Church’s scripture division, furthering the narrative that “simplification” means being smart with resources. Resources are finite, and it takes plenty of work to translate scriptures, let alone print and ship them. The Church went as far as to dissuade members from looking to the printed versions of the Handbooks, as they will be rendered obsolete by ongoing digital updates. ![]() For example, last year the Church announced it would no longer print Handbooks 1 and 2, which are used by Church leaders to govern how they operate within their callings. It is significantly easier to update a digital property and maintain good ol’ correlation than it is to update printed materials, both in terms of messaging and in terms of capital investment. As the world goes digital, the Gospel Library and synchronization have become the focal point for scripture development. So why restrict what’s available? You can thank smartphones. The former isn’t much of a loss, but the latter kinda stinks. For example, compact-sized scriptures are going by the wayside, except for military pocket-sized scriptures, snap closure covers will also be a thing of the past, and brown and burgundy colors shall fall by the wayside. In an attempt to “simplify” the process of printing scriptures, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced a reduction in the available styles or varieties of the sacred works.Īn article by THE Church News explains that starting in December, the presses will cool off, and fourteen styles will be discontinued in English, which will result in the reduction of six of those styles in Spanish and one in Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean.Ĭhanging “styles” means removing colors from the lineup, reducing the number of available sizes, and removing some features. ![]() Every single feature you see of these scriptures will be unavailable in 2020.
