I purchased a nice leather, wide-margin Thompson Chain Ref. Bible that I could use to transfer all of my notes into from all my other Bibles. It was bulky but worth using only one Bible. I have used the Thompson Chain Bibles for years. It has been my favorite style Bible of all Bibles. This new wide-margin Thompson Chain broke my heart. The pages are so cheap and thin that no matter what type of pen you use, it shows on the opposite side, as if it was written on that very page. This has never happened on my older editions. I have certain quality and brand name pens that I use and have used for years on my Bibles so this would not happen. They even work on "cheapo" award paper bibles. It would seem that a $100.00+ Thompson would hold up better, but it doesn't.

I must be honest and admit that I have not contacted the company for a refund or exchange, but I am contemplating it. The fact that a long-time buyer and believer in Thompson Chain products would have to put up with this hassle caused me to caution future buyers - not of the layout or notes, because these have not changed and are awesome tools for the true Bible student - but definitely of the quality of the leather and paper used for the pages today. If you take notes in your Bible, beware!!!

THis is a very rare bible because they do not print it anymore. I was so glad to get it. Thanks
