A lifetime investment that ages to a beautiful patina as the years go by.
Bibles are among the most loved family heirlooms. You want your Bible to last a lifetime and live on after you to be cherished by your children and grandchildren. The No. 1 Leather Bible Cover can help bring that vision to life.
Functionality and Design
Superbly handcrafted in the Col. Littleton Workshop of our wonderfully-textured, full-grain, rich Tobacco Brown American Buffalo which is dry milled for a soft hand and lived in look and feel. Trimmed in our traditional Vintage Brown Polished American Steerhide for a nice contrast. Two front straps with 2-position, solid brass ball stud closures. Interior pen/pencil holder. To complete the look the No. 1 Bible Cover is edge coated and edge stitched – hallmarks of quality construction – to give it durability and an aesthetically-pleasing finished look.
“I’ve been ‘The Colonel’ for nearly 35 years. In that time I’ve designed and marketed literally hundreds of products. I always like to hear ideas and product suggestions from our customers. Without a doubt, the No. 1 suggestion over the years has been Leather Bible Covers. People want a quality Bible Cover to protect the book most important in their lives.
“Why haven’t I made one before… simply because there are so many different types and sizes of Bibles out there, and I knew I needed to come up with something something as universally applicable as I could. This is a start. It won’t fit all books and Bibles; however, you may like it so much you want to get a Bible to fit it if you don’t already have one.
“All I know for sure is if everybody buys one who has asked me to make one over the years, I’m going to be out of stock frequently.”
– Colonel Littleton
Construction & Special Features
The No. 1 Bible Cover can be configured in a number of ways for your personal use. See the pictures above and watch Colonel’s video for ideas and then experiment to see which way works best for you. Where space is limited, the tri-fold construction allows you to fold the Bible Cover to a Bible-reading or note-taking position. For at-home study, our No. 10 Writing Board creates a great surface on which to rest your Bible and take notes.
Each Bible Cover comes with a No. 20 Memorandum Pad (7″ H x 5″ W) for quick sermon notes and jotting down verses or topics you want to research. Also included is our No. 28 Journal Register for personal study and more extensive notes. Both may be reordered. You can date the registers as you use them, save them for future reference and to share thoughts with future generations of your family.
“As a special gift to you, I designed the Old Rugged Cross Bookmark to accompany each No. 1 Bible Cover. These bookmarks are strategically cut to show an authentic scar in the leather… a constant reminder of the price that was paid, which helps keep things in perspective on our daily journey.”
– Colonel Littleton
May be personalized with 3 block-style initials on front antiqued oval solid brass plate.
Product Packaging includes a protective cotton canvas drawstring dust bag with the Col. Littleton Cameo Logo and a Col. Littleton Gift Box. Made in Lynnville, TN USA.

I would like to give credit where it is due. That said, allow me to detail. Upon receiving my #1 bible cover, observing the attention to detail on the outside of the logo box i was impressed. After opening it to find another logo box of excellent quality, I opened it. And what I found surprised me. A small paper bag with a Tennessee triangle in genuine leather and a card. A hand written postcard and information on the leather used in the Bible cover construction. With a leather coaster embossed with your logo! And a small moon pie! Then to look down and see a beautiful canvas logo bag which contained the bible cover. The cover is of the highest quality. And I am sure, will be around long after I am not. The rugged cross book mark and all the trimmings that you folks put into the experience of just opening the package is well worth the price of ownership. Of all the things I have purchased in my 55 years, never have I felt more of the pride, care, and love that went into creating something as I did unboxing this bible cover. To say well done on how you treat your customers would be an understatement. Thank you for the wonderful product you made. And thank you for making me feel like one of your family with the experience of unboxing it. God Bless. With kind regards, Louis Toombs Jr.
Thanks so much, Louis! We’re truly honored by your kind words and so glad the Bible cover, and the whole unboxing experience, meant that much to you. It really makes our day to hear that. God bless!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you for your review, Stephanie!
A quality leather item that looks good and feels nice to hold in your hand.
I’m currently using my cover to hold a study guide to another great piece of writing, the U.S. Constitution.
Thank you so much for your review Robert! We hope you Bible Cover serves you well for years to come.
