Great study Bible for anyone interested in biblical and ancient near east history. Its really thick and heavy but it has so much useful and necessary information for the study of both testaments. My grandma bought it for my birthday and when she noticed that the strap was not real, she was rather upset. She also thinks the European leather looks like plastic (and its kind of a bummer that the strap isn't real because the top flap sticks open...). Contents are awesome though!!! Everyone should have this Bible

Very nice. I like it much better than the huge hardcover one. It is great to be able to read and relate to it geographically !
