I would only add a few things to the previous review:

1) that the Revised Version is the closest thing to the Greek you'll see in English, even more so than the New American Standard (which was based on its American Printing, the ASV).

2) You can reconstruct the ASV from the changes list supplied in the helps. There are not that many changes.

3) This translation is also accompanied by extensive cross-references, which are not just lists of verses as they are in every other Bible, but they have semantic tags attached:

a) no tag means exact or close parallel;
b) "Cited" or "Cited from" means actual quotation;
c) "Cp." means references, when the parallel is less exact;
d) "See" means either a passage where the main references have been collected, like the NIV Cross-Reference System does it, or it means a longer passage, parallel or explanatory;
e) "al" means all the parallels are not given;
f) "?" is placed after a reference which may or may not be applicable;
g) "mg" refers to references to marginal readings

In addition, the references are given in a certain order:
1. Quotations or exact verbal parallels;
2. Passages with similarity of idea or expression;
3. Explanatory or illustrative
4. Historical or geographical
5. Illustrating differences of rendering from the KJV

So if you like the NAS cross references, or the NIV cross references, I believe you'll like these even more.

4) There are other fun things in this Bible; a through-the-Bible calendar you can use in a one- or three-year format; blank note sheets of high quality paper; wide margins!
