I have one (the black goatskin). It is a beautifully bound Bible. They use the Harper Collins ESV, however, as far as I can tell the text is the same as the Crossway editions. Maybe different layout/font/cross references?

However much I am impressed with the supple goat leather (the men of the church like to hold my Bible and stroke it, or hold it close to their face), I am disappointed in the margins. Being that it is a rebound volume, the margin size varies throughout my copy.
In some areas, there may be 2 millimiters of margin!!!!! Other places it's a 1/2 inch.

When paying $130 for a Bible, I expect a little more....... I don't know if this is true of all the Bibles they sell, or if they just messed up on my copy, but you should ask them before purchasing.
Looks good, but the price put me off.
