Some new reader auction listings for you! J. Shelton Smith is "thinning the herd," as they say, and plans to auction a number of nice editions in the near future. To begin with, he's listed three that are worth checking out, especially if you enjoyed today's piece on red Bibles, because two of the items in my stack photo are up for bid (well, two copies of the same thing -- you know what I mean): 



Also, David Farlow continues to break the heart of every dreamer who's ever wanted to walk into an empty bookstore and find a wall of vintage Bibles on the shelf. He's listed a beautiful grey pigskin Ruby Text KJV, so check it out:




J. Mark Bertrand is a novelist and pastor whose writing on Bible design has helped spark a publishing revolution. Mark is the author of Rethinking Worldview: Learning to Think, Live, and Speak in This World (Crossway, 2007), as well as the novels Back on Murder, Pattern of Wounds, and Nothing to Hide—described as a “series worth getting attached to” (Christianity Today) by “a major crime fiction talent” (Weekly Standard) in the vein of Michael Connelly, Ian Rankin, and Henning Mankell.

Mark has a BA in English Literature from Union University, an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Houston, and an M.Div. from Heidelberg Theological Seminary. Through his influential Bible Design Blog, Mark has championed a new generation of readable Bibles.
