Amazon is taking orders in advance for this book, if anyone is
interested.  They say it should be available by April 5.  I'm intrigued
by it because it suits the system I use for reading the GNT, so I've
ordered one.  Thanks to whoever brought it to our attention.  (On the
other hand, if it turns out to be "quite horrible," shame on whoever
brought it to our attention.)

It seems pretty readable to me (what's wrong with "computer 
produced"?), and the numbers don't get in the way for me.  It's 
definitely much better than the typeface of a lot of older texts I've 
seen (e.g. Baker's edition of the "Berry Interlinear").  And, what's 
wrong with China? ;-) Yes, I agree that the Germans make the best books 
(after the Japanese ;-)) but China isn't that bad, from the Chinese 
books I've seen.  I'm looking forward to purchasing a copy when the 
book goes out.  My only complaint about Zondervan books is that it 
seems to be a *policy* of theirs not to make (hardback) books with sewn 
bindings...

My two cents,
