I recently bought two of these Saint Joseph Edition New American Bibles (NAB) in hardcover, by Catholic Book Publishing Corp., one in green cloth: The New American Bible, ISBN 978-0-89942-963-2, No. 611/67, the other (this one) in black cloth ISBN 978-0-89942-964-9, No. 611/22. I have had one of these for about two decades and it is finally falling apart. I like these editions for my own personal use. They are rugged, have nice sewn bindings, they can take quite a beating. They have large print. They open nicely and stay opened without pages flipping back or forth.

The translation is the one that people hear each Sunday in the Catholic Church at Mass. I believe this makes it the preferred one to use in Bible Study in the parish. Besides the Sacred Scriptures, these editions come with what I believe is one of the essential Vatican II documents supporting the study of Scripture, the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation: Dei Verbum: Solemnly Promulgated by His Holiness Pope Paul VI on November 18, 1965, (Documents of Vatican II). It also has a very nice section, "How to Read the Bible." There are a fair number of good illustrations, maps and other tables. It has a basic Bible Dictionary, lists the Readings for Sunday Mass for the entire 3-year Cycle, and has a useful Doctrinal Index wherein the Scripture texts underlying Church Teachings can be found.

The Saint Joseph Edition of the NAB is very reasonably priced. Having bought both new Bibles as "used" in "very good" condition, they were only a fraction of the normal price, arrived in excellent condition looking like new Bibles, with the durability to last another 10-20 years with lots of use, I say these are a real bargain anyway you look at it.

This, the Black hardcover only, also has a section for Family Records in-between the Old and New Testaments.

The Bible came in perfect shape from seller. It is one of the best modern versions of the holy bible there is. My family and I read it together as a devotion for our love of Gods Holy Word.
