This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design. 2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin. 3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document. 4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source. */ .sidebar1 { float: left; width: 20%; padding-bottom: 10px; background-color: #FFF; font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; color: #5A3C32; padding-left: 5px; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 5px; } .content { width: 75%; padding-top: 25px; padding-right: 15; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 15; background-color: #FFF; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; float: left; } .para { font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: medium; text-align: justify; list-style-type: disc; } .para_header { font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: right; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; margin-right: 15px; margin-left: 15px; padding-top: 15px; } .para_intext_quote { text-align: justify; margin-right: 30px; margin-left: 30px; } .para_quote { font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: medium; text-align: justify; font-style: italic; } .para_quote_author { font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: medium; text-align: right; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #FDF0C6; } .para_page_heading { font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: center; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; margin-right: 15px; color: #900; } /* ~~ This grouped selector gives the lists in the .content area space ~~ */ .content ul, .content ol { padding: 0 15px 15px 40px; /* this padding mirrors the right padding in the headings and paragraph rule above.

It takes its name from the Venerable Cardinal Caesar Baronius, a Neapolitan ecclesiastical historian from the late 1500’s. The main objective of Baronius Press is to raise the quality of Catholic books in order to make them more appealing to a wider audience.</p> <p class="para"> Baronius Press is one of the few remaining publishers to produce beautifully bound titles. In an age of mass production and cost cutting overriding aesthetic beauty, Baronius Press is reversing conventional wisdom. Our edition of the Knox translation of the Bible, is no different, and is produced in a beautiful and lasting binding, which reflects the sacred text that it contains.</p> <p class="para"> Care and attention to detail mean that the exquisite finishing touches such as headbands, ribbons and marbled endpapers that most other publishers just simply can’t afford to offer are insisted on.</p> <p class="para"> The time and effort that is invested into each title is enormous, but this is a small gesture of love for the treasures of the Holy Mother Church whose literary treasures Baronius Press publishes for all generations to endear. Discover the fundamental features that make the Knox Bible exclusive.</p> <p> </p> <p class="para_header">Binding</p> <p class="para">The hardcover edition uses leather covered over 1/8” thick, stiff boards to create strong and durable book that will last for generations. This is then carefully blocked on both the spine and the front cover with the title “The Holy Bible”.</p> <p class="para_header">Ribbons</p> <p class="para"> Ribbons are excellent for referring to different sections or to note the point which has been read, so are standard on all books. For the Knox Bible, special ultra soft ribbons that are designed not to damage the gilding (a common problem with gilded books) are used.</p> <p class="para_header">Gilding</p> <p class="para">In times gone by, paper was of such a poor quality, that gilding the edge of the book was a way to prevent light and humidity from breaking it down even faster. Today gilding is more decorative and is mainly used for sacred works. The Bible edges of the paper have been gilded to the highest standards possible for the most beautiful finish possible.</p> <p class="para_header">Head and Tail bands</p><p class="para">Headbands originated in Victorian England as a way of covering the unsightly spine sewing at the head and tail of the book block (hence the name). At one time popular with publishers, but due to cost are less used today by trade publishers. Baronius insists on these small finishing touches and so the Knox Bible has gold head and tail bands to match the gilding.</p> <p class="para_header">Endpapers</p> <p class="para">The endpapers are made of thick heavy-weight paper, decoratively printed with marble motive to complement the overall design of the book.</p> <p> </p> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --></div> <div class="footer"> 2016 漏 <a href="http://www.baronius.com/">Baronius Press Ltd</a><br> You are allowed to use any of the text on this website to promote the Knox Bible. <!-- end .footer --></div> <!-- end .container --></div> </body> <!-- InstanceEnd --></html>
