Why is full grain leather so soft and what makes it so durable?

This is the most premium leather ever featured on a Word on Fire book—the highest quality grade possible for bookbinding. The natural full-grain leather uses the entire hide, ensuring it will patina beautifully over time rather than degrade with use. Because the leather is fully penetrated with dye, it guarantees a resilience to scratches, rain, or coffee spills that may happen with daily use.

The cows come from the Valencia region in Spain where there are no barbed wires in the field. This prevents scarring from occurring on the animal and creates a very high quality product. Unlike top grain leathers, which is what is used on the Word on Fire Bible, Full grain leather is even higher quality. It contains the full hide from the animal. You’ll instantly notice how soft it feels.
