1. Why do you need a leather GNT?
2. AFAIK the GNT is improved constantly, but only in the apparatus, the
text is the same.
3. Currently the 5th printing is active which includes the latest papyri
finds (see below). If you are only interested in the Greek text itself,
you can buy whatever printing you want, but if you are interested in the
apparatus, you should definitely buy the latest print.
4. The price for it is 23,50 Euro (ca. $ 28) in Germany.

5. If you are interested in the apparatus, you should consider buying
the Nestle-Aland, which has a more representative apparatus (see below).
Same price.
