The time has come to tell the entire story of the creation of The Saint John s Bible. This completely revised and updated edition of Illuminating the Word devotes a separate chapter to each of the Bible s seven volumes. Readers get a behind-the-scenes tour of the creation of each volume, with a fascinating window into the activities, challenges, and struggles at Donald Jackson s Scriptorium in Wales. We can practically watch, through the eyes of every artist and calligrapher who participated in the project, the Bible s stunning illuminations move from conception to completion.
This edition includes a completely new chapter, on the scripts used in The Saint John s Bible that will fascinate calligraphers and lovers of the art. Still another new chapter details the production of the Heritage Edition, a high-quality, fine art facsimile of the original that makes The Saint John s Bible available to a wider audience than the singular manuscript.

Are you sure that it will be published in February 2015? Amazon still has a 2013 date up, and it seems that the first edition is still being sold at the Liturgical Press web site.
Yes. I saw it in a recent LitPress Catalogue.
