Title: Beautiful binding, useful translation
Review: It's wonderful that the Revised Version is still in print. I wish the same were true of the ASV. (Contrary to what another reviewer said, it's NOT easy to reconstruct the ASV text from the RV's endnotes. Most of the differences are in the "Classes of Passages" sections that apply throughout the whole Bible, with few specific verse references.)What a beautiful book this is! I bought it as much for the incomparable Cambridge goatskin binding as for the text. It feels and smells and MOVES so beautifully that I enjoy just holding it. It's well worth every penny. I wish Cambridge published all versions of the Bible. The only problem is that it's too lovely to carry around unprotected, and nobody makes a Bible cover big enough to hold it.
Is the review positive or negative?
