A Book of Common Prayer or Bible is much more than a book. It may mark a baptism, confirmation, ordination, wedding, graduation, or another important moment in a person’s life. Adding a name in gold or silver makes the gift even more personal and creates a keepsake that may be treasured for years.
St. John’s Cathedral Bookshop offers imprinting services for Books of Common Prayer and Bibles purchased through our shop. Leather editions and certain hardback covers are good candidates for imprinting. Simply select the imprinting option when placing your online order and complete the selections for font style, color, and name to be imprinted. If you have questions about imprinting or need help choosing an appropriate edition, please contact us—we will be glad to assist you.
Imprinted Books of Common Prayer and Bibles make especially meaningful gifts for:
- Baptisms and confirmations
- Weddings and anniversaries
- Graduations
- Ordinations and installations
- Clergy and ministry appreciation
- Children receiving their first Bible or prayer book
We also welcome orders from churches needing multiple copies for a confirmation class, choir, vestry, school, or other group.
Because imprinting requires additional preparation time, please place your order well before the date when your gift is needed. Visit us in the Bookshop or shop online to choose a Book of Common Prayer or Bible that will be both useful and deeply personal.
