My Bible collecting hobby has become a joke in my small group. If you ask them this is 110th Bible I’ve purchased- it’s the 7th (maybe there’s something in that number). This Bible has immediately become my favorite! The feel, the flop, the pages, even the smell. The cover has a soft and smooth quality feel. The gold embossing is beautiful on the black surface, matching the gold edged pages perfectly. The flop when you open the Bible allows it to lay flat, even in Genesis and Revelation. The pages are a bit thin as most Bibles but the typeface is gorgeous and easy to read, plus the edition of the red letters is everything I’ve wanted in a Bible. The room in the margins is excellent for simple notations, I would just be careful about the writing implement you choose and make sure it won’t bleed through. I will cherish this Bible for years to come!! Thank you for beautiful craftsmanship!
