Is it worth it? Anyone care to advise?

Are you only searching for "New Geneva Study Bible"? That was its old name. The newer version is called "The Reformation Study Bible". There appear to be at least two used hardcover NKJV versions on Amazon for $24.
Jess,
Thanks for responding.
1. I'm so old-school I can't do any in-depth study/ reading on a digital screen and I would prefer to pay for a hard copy of any book over a free online one. I like books. It's my hobby/ obsession. (Sometimes even sinful, as I must constantly examine myself that my desire for any book is pure and not covetous or idolatrous.)
2. I'm so happy that you showed me about the KJVSB. I'll be keeping an eye out for that one. I may printout the notes on the NGSB you suggested and just file them for further use. Been really wanting a good study bible and the ESV one seemed like my only option for a while. Dr.Beeke is a trusted man, I'm so interested to see what will come of the KJVSB. Thanks so much again!
The translation notes are online FREE @ The Geneva Bible Translation Notes [1599] Index

The Reformation study Bible only comes in ESV, whereas the New Geneva came in NKJV.
Thankyou Chris. I was not aware of the resources you suggested. I will look into these as well. Thankyou for the advice.
From the OP it sounded like you want a thoroughly Reformed Study Bible and you are transitioning to the KJV. I am eagerly awaiting the KJVSB for this very reason which is why I shared the link.!Jess,

I did NOT mean to IMPLY that the interpretation notes to the original 1599 Geneva Bible were the commentator notes from the NGSB. My apologies. I was only sharing it because I find them helpful to supplement my studies in the KJV (since both translations are based on the Textus Receptus) while I await the KJVSB from RHB. And, I thought they might hold you over another year while you wait for the KJVSB as well!Hi Tim.
Yep. Wanted this one so I could stick to the NKJV. Although Jess pointed out that all the comentator's notes are online free so I think I'm just gonna print those out and file 'em.
I did notice the cheaper NGSB's on Amazon but the ones under 60usd all seem to be heavily worn/marked and, ehm.. "stained"... so I was considering paying a few extra dollars for an unstained copy.
Thanks Mark.
I honestly would prefer paper. I can't do any serious reading or study on digital screen. Hence my new and exciting offer for a trade on my latest post.
