The NIV wide margin side-column reference Bible, premium goatskin leather is one of the loveliest Bibles I’ve come across. In fact, it’s the most elegant NIV edition I own.
It’s nearly perfect.
The layout is amazing. The single column is great for readability. The references in the margin are awesome.
The cover is brown and made of goatskin, which is a mark of a premium Bible.
The thick paper is excellent. The design and construction is flawless.
The opaque paper is wonderful to touch. I also love the blue color in the print.
If you’re a fan of the NIV or you’re new to it, this is THE Bible I’d recommend for you.
Hands down.
This is a great description from the publisher.
