[B-Greek] Zondervan's Greek New Testament - NET DIGLOT

First, I got the cheaper NET/NA27 Diglot and I like it a lot. The quality of
the binding is exceptional. By "binding" I mean the way the pages are bound
together. It is built to last, to have pages turned over and over, and in a
hurry sometimes if need be. I didn't get the flexible genuine leather cover,
but if I were traveling with it every day, that's what I would have gotten,
because the flexible covers lend themselves to that. Hardbacks do NOT. I got
the Hardback 'cause I only travel with it once a week or so and I couldn't
afford the extra forty bucks. But the actual BINDING is among the best I've
seen in a Bible. The print size is nice and very readable. The paper
quality, the notes... Everything is top-drawer imho. The cover of the
hardback is covered in bonded leather, so it should last pretty well. I'll
tell you in 2014 how it's lasting... ;-)

I sold books and Bibles for years, and there is a big difference between the
"binding" and the "cover", by the way. If you like the cover of that
Zondervan GNT, (which I have and like by the way...) keep in mind that it is
NOT a durable leather cover. (I think the actual "binding" is fine though.)
I have serious doubts that under heavy use the cover will last for years and
years. Mine is showing tons of scratches and such already after a few
months. But if you use it heavily, I would think you'd eventually want to
switch to a UBS or NA27 for regular reading anyway. That's my eventual plan.
