Frequently Asked Questions

At this time our products are only available at our online store via our website www.periousios.com. 

In regards to whether we rebind new Bibles, the short answer is yes.

We occasionally have a customer that will purchase a new Bible with the intention of replacing the cover before it is even used. This is done on an individual basis and done solely through commission. We do not buy Bibles for this purpose, nor will we offer any for sale unless we have received express written consent from the Bible publisher to do this.

You may ask why someone would do this. Well, maybe they want a different kind of leather than was available from the manufacturer, or maybe a different color. Have you ever been able to buy a purple kangaroo skin Bible off the shelf of your local Christian bookstore?

In regards to whether we as a commercial entity buy new bibles and rebind them for resale, the answer is not exactly. Cambridge University Press addressed this issue on December 1, 2021 because they had become aware that an individual had purchased large quantities of the hardback Cambridge ESV Diadem Bible with the sole intention of stripping them of the covers, rebinding them, and selling them for commercial profits. We do not practice this and we will not without the express written consent of the Bible publisher.

The whole Bibles that we sell on our website are one of the following:

1. Bibles that we actually printed ourselves and have bound in a variety of different coverings.
2. Bibles that were purchased from a book printer in a book block text format with the intention of binding for commercial sale.
3. Bibles that were purchased with the intention of rebinding for commercial purposes, with the express written consent of the Bible publisher.
4. Vintage USED Bibles that have been acquired, repaired, restored, and are now for sale. These Bibles are often out of print and unobtainable except in the used format.

We are King James Only. All of our products in the English language use the King James Version as scripture.  We respect that others may have their preferred translation of the Bible but we here at Periousios Press believe that the King James Version is the English translation of the Bible that God has preserved for the World.

No, we mostly use black ink. But in all seriousness, we like to keep a very clean environment, so we always clean up the workspace and wash our hands in kerosene.

We do not offer free shipping because shipping is not free. When free shipping is available to us, we will pass on the savings to you. But when the USPS goes to free shipping, we will probably be out of business as Socialism will have taken over the United States and banned our products.

We do not offer our services to those outside of the United States at this time due to the complexities of international shipping and customs regulations. If you are a missionary outside the United States and desire our products, please contact us directly and we will see what we can arrange.

Yes, we are an American based company and we proudly make all our own products by hand. That being said, in the small world of fine press and bookbindings it is difficult to source all materials from American origins. We do our best to do so, but we also want to use the best quality materials available too.

We will try to document in each item’s description the components that went into making that product. If you have any questions about a particular product, feel free to reach out to us and we will let you know.

At this time we are a very small operation and unable to accommodate any custom orders. If a product has customization options available it is for that product only.

Our website is designed to not allow backorders of products beyond our current inventory as we do not know the timeline of when it may be back in stock. Please let us know if there is something that you really want and we can try and accommodate you.

Our website is designed to only allow sales of our inventory currently in stock. If you need more than is available please reach out to us and we can discuss your needs.

No. We are a for profit business, but as you can see, that profit margin is not very high.

Our company is not associated with any Church or Organization for business purposes. We are an independently owned and operated company.

On a personal level, we are firm believers in Christ, tithing members of our local church, and attend as frequently as possible as the Bible commands us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together.
