I checked the American Bible Society's website (www.bibles.com), and they do

have a leather-bound NA-27 (ISBN 343805101X).  They also have UBS4 in a

leather-bound edition (ISBN 3-43805-111-7).  Does anyone know if this is

really good quality leather and binding?

I didn't get my hands on Goodrich until I'd already required my private

students to get NA-27s, which they would have needed anyway.  I can take or

leave the glosses, but the thing that endears me about Goodrich is that it's

so beautifully bound and pleasant for devotional reading of the GNT (ala

Machen), which I want to encourage in all forms.

 

Too bad the NA isn't available in a beautiful binding like that that would

be more suited for travel, devotional reading, and use in church.  I have

seen so many Greek scholars carrying battered and taped old Nestle-Alands

around: that binding is just designed to sit on a shelf, if you actually use

it, it falls to pieces in a couple of years.  Even the "leder" edition is

not that attractive, although it's a little more durable.

 

I think the GNT should be our pride and joy and thus should be available in

the same devotional formats (ie, beautifully printed and uncluttered) and

lavish bindings any NIV or NASB can be found.  The world needs pocket

editions too!  I located a mint-condition NA-26 pocket size and then had it

rebound in Kangaroo leather and personalized.  Cost me $100 though.

 

I also wish there was a good LXX edition in a nicer binding and more

accessible format.  Ralf's is great but it's a bit daunting for someone who

just wants to read the LXX without reading discussions in Latin about the

meter the verse is written in.  It's expensive and huge to carry around too.
