Shown is the zippered, thin-line RSV Catholic Edition Bible in imitation leather from Oxford University Press. It is listed on Oxford Press website in black at $32.99 but can be found on the internet in both black and burgundy for a little over $20.
It is imitation leather but it feels like lambskin and is beautifully stitched. The binding is sewn and it has a zippered closure with miraculous medal zipper pull. I've added two ribbons
to save my place - one red for the Old Testament and one white for the
New Testament. The ribbons had to be cut short so as not to get caught in the zipper. There are very few notes, no maps, no essays and no pretty pictures - very few frills, just the text. It is not a study Bible but designed to be carried with you and read.
This is an amazingly rugged yet beautiful Bible. I tend to be rough on
things and the zippered closure is a blessing for travel or just
throwing it in the back seat of the car. This one has been used every
day for years, has been dragged up and down the east-coast in backpack, on airplanes, in hotel rooms, and it still looks brand new. I have read this Bible cover to cover three times and am half way through my fourth.
This is quite simply one of the best values in Catholic Bibles available today.
