Best Desk Bible I have ever seen to include videos. Sure Color Pictures would be nice and premium leather as well, but this is the best text I have ever seen with helpful notes on every single thing and more. Love the double column in a study bible as well as large print.

First off, this bible is everything I expected it to be. It's amazing! The quality of the leather, the study notes, the print. It's all great!

Next, I would like to state some clarification on some other reviews that I have read through.

--- "The pages are thin." Well... Yes. The pages ARE thin. They're bible pages. A majority of the bibles I've ever come into contact with have been made of this thin "bible paper" as you might put it. Also, keep in mind that this is a STUDY BIBLE. It's 2.5 inches thick already. If someone is going to complain about the paper thinness and want thicker paper, then once they get what they want they're going to complain about how the bible is "too big and thick to carry around" because thicker paper means an even thicker bible.

--- "The bible is huge." Well... Yes. It's 2.5 inches thick. It's an intense study bible. Not something you stick in your pocket. I don't really have a problem carrying it around. I finally found a nice leather cover that fits it as well. It's so nice!

--- "The maps aren't in color." Correct.. They're two toned. And they're easy to see. It's not like that makes them unreadable. If you're more worried about the map quality than the actual bible study quality... then maybe you should recheck what really important. Or just keep looking. The study notes and quality of the bible far outweigh the benefit of color maps in the notes. Also, there ARE colored maps in the back of the book on thicker paper. Just a btw side note.

--- "It has not red lettering." Correct. It does not have red lettering. Again, kind of like the maps... unless that's super duper uber essential to you... The quality of the bible far outweighs the lack of red lettering. Personally I think it makes you pay attention more. But that's just me.

Over all, I give this a 5 star rating. Personally, I don't think petty little things such as map color and lettering should have an effect on the star rating. You're rating the bibles quality.. not your preferences. If you're rating this bible off of your preferences then go find a bible that have your preferences.

My husband and I use this every day.The print is wonderful and the notes are enormously helpful. We are thrilled to have God's Word with these additional resources at our fingertips. Thank you!

This is a great study Bible with word for word translation. I own several Bibles and this one is my favorite. Its a big Bible that is not idea to carry to church but a very good source at home.

The assessed value rating is higher than the quality rating given because of the content, but the value rating is given considering all factors. The quality of the product itself is extremely poor. The paper it is printed on is extremely thin. So thin that it feels like it will tear if you look at it wrong. Though the pages are guilded, I would have much preferred foregoing the gold edges and the cost of guilding allocated to higher quality paper. Considering the purchasing power of the money spent, there are definitely higher quality bibles of greater value. to be had.
