Easily the most luxurious bible I’ve ever touched. The vintage style red speckled pages feel unique now that virtually all bibles are guided nowadays. The ESV readers edition is one of my favorite text blocks and it’s great to have a copy printed in the Netherlands. The Charfleet binding is also amazing…
The cross references, solid concordance and full color supplementary images at the back make it feel about as close to a study bible as you can get without actually being one.
My one complaint is that the way they did the speckled pages causes some of the pages to stick thr first time you flip to it… the more I use it and break it in the less of an issue it is (it isn’t a huge issue to me anyway just one worth mentioning) if you can get your hands one I recommend thr purchase!
