I'll just say that that's the KJV version so if it's for a child you might want the NIV or another modern translation. There's paperback versions of pretty much every translation though.

As far as Animal skins on Bibles go, I would have to agree with one of the prior posts here in regard to pigskins. Why would you ever want to put pigskin on your Bible? What an Abomination when the Bible itself says not even to touch their dead carcasses! Leviticus 11:7,8. Not even old brother Noah would ever offer such an unclean and filthy animal before God. See Genesis 7:1,2; 8:20. And that was a long time before the Jews or Moses ever came around! Clearly, these animals were filthy from the beginning and were never intended for food or for a holy purpose. They are scavengers and cleaners of the earth-pigs'll eat almost anything. They don't even have sweat glands. Their bodies and skin are often filled with all sorts of perisites. Anyway, Christ Jesus died on the cross to cleanse sinners, of whom we are chief, not pigs! How dare we wrap God's Holy book in such a filthy creature, when even Noah himself wouldn't offer such a dirty beast to God. Sounds like far too many have gone the way of Old Israel and lost their spiritual sensibilities. Ezekiel 22:26.

Listen pigs are cute and hypoallergenic actually but aside from those the only reason I'd avoid using their skin for something like bibles would be out of deferential acknowledgement to historical tradition.
