2.0 out of 5 stars Great translation...poor publishing quality..., September 6, 2006

This review is from: NASB Zondervan Study Bible (Burgundy) (Leather Bound)

Excellent translation with extensive, but just adequate study notes... Unfortunately, publishing/binding quality is neither good nor durable. I used this Bible as my primary Bible for 2.5 years and the pages started to come out (pages not sewn in.) Paper is thin (ink can bleed through) and ghosts as well. Red letter text is rather faint. Leather quality also poor. Would only buy as reference text to keep on the shelf for occassional use...not for use on a daily basis...

5.0 out of 5 stars The only study Bible you'll ever need, January 22, 2007

This review is from: NASB Zondervan Study Bible (Burgundy) (Leather Bound)

I own a couple of dozen Bibles in all sorts of translations, each which boasts a particular special feature. About three years ago, I came across this Bible in a hard cover edition and it quickly replaced most of my other Bible study tools. Three years later, I just invested in a leather copy of this same Bible and plan to use this one the rest of my life. One of the reviewers made the excellent point of carrying one Bible around, vs a Bible, a commentary, a lexicon and a concordance. Ditto!!! The NASB Study Bible by Zondervan is the ONLY Bible you'll ever need. The translation (a transdenominatinal effort) is one my Father reccomended to me as the most literal, and completely agree. The additional tools (particularly the extensive study notes) enrich your daily Bible study, and it's perfect for someone who wants to get back into a better routine of reading God's word. I'm excited about picking up this Bible and I hope others discover it's blessings as well.

How many people have the ability to lug a concordance, bible, commentary, and lexicon around with them? This is what you'll find in this absolutely superb Bible from Zondervan. Granted, you may look more studious, have access to slightly more information, and have a stronger back lugging all those books around, but I promise that you'll not find a MORE complete single rescource for Bible study, devotion, or investigation of a biblical matter. I always start with this Bible when I study. Dr. Boa has done an absolutely fantastic job overseeing this Bible's completion at Zondervan,... And even though I can't wait for Sid Buzzell's Bible to debute, I am confident that I will read this one for a LONG long time. Oh yeah, and it is the BIBLE, how much better can one book get? AMEN?
