Wide-Margin Reference Bibles Coming Spring 2007
The ESV Wide Margin Reference Bible is coming this spring. It looks very similar to the Classic Reference Bible (two columns of text, center-column cross-references) and has 1.25-inch margins. The words of Christ are in black; in other words, it’s not red-letter. Like the Single Column Reference Bible, it includes minor textual updates to the ESV text.
It comes in three formats to start: campus hardcover (with a binding and appearance similar to the black Pew and Worship Bible), regular hardcover, and black genuine leather.
Here are the rest of the specs:
- 8.8-point type
- 14,500-entry concordance
- Words of Christ in black
- Size: 6″ x 9″
- Wide 1.25″ margins for notetaking
- Over 80,000 cross-references in the center column
- Free CD-ROM request card included
- Not thumb-indexed
- The Campus format features a binding similar to the Pew and Worship Bibles
- The inside is the same as the Classic Reference Bible with slightly smaller type
