Smyth Sewn bindings use thread to sew through folded signatures of a book. Signatures are made by printing on large sheets and then folding into groups of pages, usually 16 or 24 at a time. Each signature is sewn individually with threads going through each page several times. The threads are then tied off. All of the signatures are likewise attached together with thread creating what is called the book block. The book block is further strengthened using flannel and adhesive on the spine.

Endorsements
“I commend whole heatedly The Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible, edited by Joel R. Beeke and others. Indeed, I am so convinced of its usefulness that I intend to get copies for my five adult children! Its attractive layout makes it readily accessible to Bible readers who want help in understanding various texts. It also provides practical help in the struggles of the spiritual life in a fallen world. It gives you enough, but never too much. It is lucid and not verbose. It is sober and nonspeculative. What a resource it will prove for theological students and for those in the full activity of their preaching and pastoral ministries. I shall be recommending it in my classes and at ministerial conferences!” — Douglas F. Kelly, Richard Jordan Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary
“The King James Version is a wonderful translation of the Bible that ought to be familiar to Christians today, including those who regularly use some other version. For committed Scripture readers, the Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible provides a superb richness of information, not distracting us from the Word, but enabling us to hear it more clearly. To open these pages is as if we can read our Bibles each day with a group of valuable teachers sitting round us—a linguist, an exegete, a couple of theologians— biblical and systematic, a church historian, a pastor, and, to help us in applying Scripture and worshiping God, some of our family and friends. What a blessing! May our Lord be pleased to use this volume extensively—to the thankfulness of those who have given themselves to preparing this new tool, to the enrichment of many who read His Word, and above all to His purposes and glory.” — Edward Donnelly, emeritus professor, Reformed Theological College, Belfast, Northern Ireland
“Here, at last, is the study Bible that many have been waiting for! The KJV has its strengths, but, like an old ship at sea that has had its fair share of beatings from the waves of time, it has needed a few screws tightened, especially around its antiquated words. This, plus the many introductory and explanatory notes, will make those who have grown up on the KJV grateful that in this one volume they can now do almost all their primary textual and doctrinal study. This is truly an exciting development that is long overdue!” — Conrad Mbewe, pastor of Kabwata Baptist Church, Zambia
“This monumental production is surely destined to be of immense help to countless users for years to come. Its scope is extraordinary, its guiding principles are rock solid, and it is remarkably readable. I know of nothing like it, and I commend it warmly.” – John Blanchard, internationally-known author, evangelist and Christian apologist
“This is a truly remarkable edition of the King James Bible and worth every penny spent on purchasing a copy. It is packed full of an incredible amount of information, and this reviewer has not seen anything quite like it! There is no doubting the truth of Dr Joel Beeke’s claim that it is “thoroughly grounded in Reformation theology.” Where then to begin?
First, there are nearly 11 pages of preliminary notes about the Bible, and the KJV in particular. These are followed by introductory articles to the Pentateuch (the first five books of the OT), the historical books, the poetry and wisdom books and the prophetic ones. At the end of the OT there is a useful 2-page explanation of the historical events between Malachi and Matthew.
Coming to the NT, there is a similar introduction to the Gospels and Acts followed by one for the epistles and separately for Revelation. These articles are extremely helpful in themselves, but there is much more. Every chapter of the Bible has a brief summary of its contents with notes on key and difficult words and verses (including archaic and less common expressions). At the end of each chapter there are thoughts for personal/family worship. The reviewer already knows of one person who is using the study Bible in their private devotions and finds it very beneficial.
All the above might seem to be quite sufficient for a Bible of this nature, but there are also 600 page-sides of other material. These include How to live as a Christian, Twenty centuries of Church history, various creeds, catechisms and confessions (9 in all), a concordance, a Bible reading plan, maps etc. In addition there are “In-Text articles” on the Doctrine of God (12), Creation (4), Sin (5), Christ (9), Salvation (15), the Church (7) and Last Things (5).” – Brian Garrard, Bible League Trust
