This Bible is the highest quality Bible from Zondervan that I have come across. I compared it in a Christian bookstore with others from Zondervan before purchasing this on Amazon for much less than the retail price of fifty dollars. Zondervan tends to use some pretty cheap materials for their covers and pages (and usually with plain edges) which lead to a Bible that does not look or feel right in you hands. Thomas Nelson has a much higher quality standard and cost less, but they do not publish the NIV translation.Unlike other Zondervan versions of the NIV bible, the paper of this Bible is thin but of strong material. It is bonded leather, not the imitation "leather look" Zondervan tends to put out. The pages have gold edging which I prefer over the plain edge (which look considerably worse if the paper is of poor quality, which Zondervan uses on their cheaper bibles). The only thing I would have liked is for "Holy Bible" to have been printed on the cover as it has on the spine, instead of a plain cover. Other Zondervan Bibles have it printed on the cover, but all the other quality features which where important to me were absent.This is the 2011 revision of the NIV translation. The Large Print text is easy to read. Its perfect, not too big, not too small. This bible is printed in China, but do not be alarmed, it is high quality material. The ISBN on the back of this Bible is 978-0-310-43488-7. The box it comes in makes it ideal for gift wrapping.Features listed on the box it came in- Lay-flat- End-of-paragraph reference system- 12-point font- NIV dictionary-concordance- Eight full-color maps- Presentation page - ideal for gift giving- Words of Christ in red- Ribbon markerThis Bible is Black bonded leather with Gold edged paper.
