The Premier Collection NIV Side-Column Reference Bible Wide Margin Personal Size
Well this Bible is a mouthful from the get go. I do wish publishers would begin to name Bibles like they name cars (some of them do, but all of them should). This is one Bible that I believe is worthy of a nickname. It’s a true beauty from Zondervan.
As the title states, this Bible is a Premier Collection, but no only that, it comes in a beautiful blue goatskin. I love blue Bibles and this one is no exception. The blue goatskin looks and feels beautiful. The spine has five raised hubs and in silver it says, “HOLY BIBLE”, “NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION”, and “ZONDERVAN”. The page edges feature a beautiful silver under blue. There are three wide, double-sided satin ribbon bookmarks in navy, red, and black. This Bible is a stunner!
Inside is a black calf liner with black vinyl end sheets. There’s a silver perimeter gilt line. It’s Smyth-sewn and edge-lined for durability.
The inside of this Bible has it all! The text is in single-column paragraph format. It’s line matched. The type size 9.5 in the Zondervan NIV Comfort Print. References are on the outer margin and then there’s about an inch of margin room for note taking. This bible truly has it all. If that’s not enough, there’s a beautiful blue accent color for headings, subheadings, chapter numbers, and reference numbers.
The back features a concordance and way too many maps for my liking.
This Bible is a stunner! I love the blue and silver. I think this one is worthy of a nickname so we don’t have to try and say everything that the title does.
