I am in the process of constructing one, and I think it can be done reasonably cheaply. The method I'm using is the one pioneered by Tony Reinke. He takes you through all the steps and gives you options for steps you might not be able to duplicate on your own. Tony's index with all the "blank" Bible posts can be read <a href="http://spurgeon.wordpress.com/2006/11/30/tss-blank-bible-index/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Enjoy!

You did indeed cause a stir when your Blog Partners request email arrived in our inbox. Our email program just displays the part of the email address before the @ sign, so I had great delight in telling my coworkers that Jesus apparently has a blog and wants to sign up for our program. For a moment I thought, "This will be bigger than when we signed up Tim Challies!" I know, Jesus, I recognized your name.

(Then I saw the previous comment.) Thanks, Alex, for your kind words about our service. And can't blame you for using the Amazon Visa card if that works out better for you.

(It's great how you guys take such care in cardboard/shrinkwrap packaging for shipping!) The thing is, I'm also planning on getting that Amazon Student Visa card, which would give me $30 credit for Amazon... which would make it even cheaper :) I'll edit my post though for WTS though! Jesus, I look forward to your reviews;-)

At this point I am using the Deluxe Heirloom Reference which uses 27lb paper as opposed to the 21lb paper on the SCR. I do however plan to switch to using the SCR. I think that I will use the red pigment liners in 005 for notes and the 01/02 for underlining. I do not see the paper as being too thin on the SCR and the bleed through in my opinion is not as annoying to me as it has been to others. If Crossway were to use the same paper as on the Deluxe Heirloom, the finished book would be over 2" thick. I plan to write a full review of the SCR and a couple other ESV's soon.
