The latest news regarding the second edition scriptures project: The leather second edition scriptures were completed just before Christmas 2025 in the Netherlands.
The books are now packed and prepared for shipment to the United States, and the container holding these volumes have been loaded onboard a ship in the port of Copenhagen. They are scheduled to depart from the Netherlands on January 21, 2026. We anticipate their arrival at a West Coast port around February 20th. Once customs clearance is completed and they are en route to our warehouse, there will be another announcement. The objective is to ship the books to all recipients as soon as they arrive in Meridian, Idaho.
As a reminder, the print-on-demand scriptures are undergoing a redesign to align with the second edition leather scriptures. As for these print-on-demand scriptures, they will include the following features: these scriptures are two-color to allow the earlier KJV/LDS chapters and verses to appear in smaller red ink and Restoration chapters and paragraphs to appear in black ink. This makes the new scriptures more easily accessible for anyone’s use. However, due to both the increase in wholesale prices and adding a second color to the text it will result in a higher print-on-demand price per book compared to the previous black-and-white books. At the present time, people are finalizing the proofing process and plan to release these updated books when simultaneously with shipping the leather scriptures to all orders.
Lastly, people are working on updating scriptures.info to let the content there correspond with the second edition scriptures. These updates are anticipated to be released in conjunction with the second edition leather and print-on-demand scripture updates.
