The Premier Collection NIV Personal Size Large Print Bible
Zondervan is blowing my mind with their Bibles! Truthfully they are making some of the most beautiful Bibles I have ever seen and this one is no exception. The Premier Collection NIV Personal Size Large Print Bible in green goatskin is nothing short of stunning! I believe Zondervan is truly raising the bar on elegant Bibles.
I love a green Bible and this one is wrapped in a soft, gorgeous green goatskin. It stands out because it has a decorative gold border on the front of the cover. Even more, the spine not only has four raised hubs, but it also decorative gold patterns running down it. This Bible truly commands your attention.
The page edges are no exception. Zondervan has been doing gauffered page edges where there is a design on the art gilt. You have to see the pictures below to truly gain a full appreciation for how beautiful it looks.
This Bible also has three double-sided satin ribbon bookmarks that are three quarters of an inch wide. Rounding out the look are green head and tail bands.
This Bible is Smyth-sewn and edge-lined for durability. Inside is a gold perimeter gilt line and black calfskin liner with matching vinyl end sheets. This Bible is so beautiful that it makes me want to use the NIV as my main translation!
The paper in this Bible is a 36 GSM European Bible Paper. It’s a true white and looks nice and opaque. Words of Christ are in black, which I love. The page layout is a double column setting with textual notes in the bottom right corner. The type is a generous 11.5 point in Zondervan’s NIV Comfort Print typeface. It all ties in together nicely with the dark green accent color that is used for page headings, subheadings, chapter numbers, and book names.
In the back you’ll find lined paper for notes, which is a nice tough. There’s also a section of full color maps.
This is truly an exquisite offering from Zondervan. If you’re an NIV fan or just a fan of beautiful Bibles then you’ll definitely want to pick this one up!
