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.
