While the binding and all was fine. All New American Bibles have the same text, I found the insert pages of old time pictures, a childish and "inthe way" addition that I did not care for. I felt like i was being given part of a catecism from the 50's. If you like that,..great. I sent this back and got a "The Catholic Study Bible NAB" which I am most impressed with. It is not thin, but it has lots of great recources with it. Your choice.

This is the greatest Bible I have ever read. Wonderful translation, design, helps, everything. Scholarly and expansive. A wonderful tool for getting closer to the Scriptures. I can't recommend this Bible enough.

I am very pleased with the text, well written and very user friendly, re type size and content...a book that more of us should read and "think about."

Thank you and Merry Christmas,

I like the size of the text. This book is easy to read. The images are pretty kitschy, though, more for 5-6 year olds than adults.
Overall, it is a great Bible, but then I am partial to catholic bibles.

I love the St. Joseph Edition, but the leather quality in this Bible was less than wonderful... and, the edging an unattractive reddish color.... I guess disappointing.... Nothing wrong with the content, though... Sorry.... Wish I could be more positive.
