Here, the NIV text is presented in single column paragraph style with the cross-references in the outer margin, giving a very well laid out appearance to the page. It is typeset using a modern digital font which has many of the characteristics usually associated with traditional Bible typefaces - in particular, a degree of readability more usually associated with much larger type. The type size is just below 9 point but with generous line spacing to further enhance readability. The Bible has 15 colour maps and a concordance, and two ribbons to keep the reader's place. This is a Bible of the highest quality, printed on India paper with gilt edges, fully sewn for flexibility and endurance, and bound in attractive and durable black calf split leather.
