Cover for The New Jerusalem Bible READER EDITION in English, Madonna of Kiko, light brown

The New Jerusalem Bible cover, especially with the 'surround' zipper, provides excellent protection for the New Jerusalem Bible. It breathes some 'fresh life' into a worn weary Bible. Also the icon, created by Kiko, of the child Jesus and the Virgin Mary, is popular among many of my Catholic friends. The image is not distorted through the embroidery process and has the required detail to be instantly recognisable. I do wonder however, why the clearer images, printed on vinyl for the leather Bible covers (though without a zipper) are not used for the bonded leather covers with the zipper. The darker brown on this item provides a nice contrast for the brigher image. This brown bonded leather New Jerusalem Bible cover makes a beautiful, yet practical, gift for Christmas or birthdays particularly for my Catholic male friends. I'll will definitely be buying more in the future.
