I received this book through the first-reads program.
This is a very well-made, and well researched volume. I didn't list this book under the 2012 shelve for the simple reason that it is a reference volume, rather than a book that one can read from cover to cover.
In terms of accessibility, this book is very easy. The pages are thin enough that the book isn't, say, a doorstop; the pages are thick enough that it doesn't feel as if it would tear from too quick a flip. The book is arranged in alphabetical order, similar to a dictionary, with the biblical passages referenced for each of the words. Very easy to find whatever you need to find.
The book is solid, with beautiful end-pages. I would like if it was bound a bit more beautifully. I felt that the covers were a bit too plain, considering all that is included within it. I've seen better bound volumes of a similar nature.
Still, quite a beautiful book. It'd make a lovely gift, even!… (altro)
i gave this book four stars because it is everything it says it is.
With that said, it was not what i was looking for, but sadly, that was my fault. I was looking for a study bible and did not understand the description in the giveaway. This was no fault at all of the publisher or the authors. Anyone who knows the bible or is just looking to understand it better will enjoy this book as it will truly help them. Its like a bible encyclopedia in my opinion.
