Bold-figure cross-references link passages of the text without cluttering the page. The words of the Lord are printed in red. In addition, a presentation page and family record, India paper, gilt edges, ribbon markers and a fine leather binding make this a very attractive Bible to own. The thumb index will enable the reader to find their place quckly and easily.

4.0 out of 5 stars Poor print quality, March 2, 2007

This review is from: KJV Concord Reference Bible, Thumb-Indexed (Black Calfskin Leather) (Leather Bound)

This bible is a pleasure to hold in your hands (Black Goatskin Leather). I was concerned that the size of the type would be too small, but that was not the case at all. As another reviewer pointed out, the print quality was poor. The letter shapes were slightly distorted (not laser printer crisp) and small portions of some letters were missing, The text is easy to read, but still a disappointment to a graphic designer/typographer who's profession involves noticing such imperfections. I will be keeping the Bible because I trust Cambridge to get the scripture itself right, which is obviously the most important consideration. I don't have the same faith in other publishers in that regard.
