My dear Greek-loving Friends,
I believe I have discovered the finest leather-bound, modern, critical Greek
New Testament anywhere. No kidding. It is not merely beautiful, it is
breath-taking. Here are the facts. If you buy the leather-bound UBS 4th
rev. edition from Christianbooks.com you will pay $99.00. See
http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=04886&event=1017SBF#details
International Bibles claims to sell the same volume for $72.99, but I am not
certain that they actually have any in stock. See item # 104886 at
http://www.internationalbibles.com/catalog/bibles/publishers/abs/104715.htm
I am very familiar with these volumes. I own two. I have worn out one. It
is leather, but about as modest a leather as can be found anywhere.
leatherbibles.com sells exactly this same text in a lush, supple calf-skin
for $149.00. The quality of the leather and the quality of the binding make
this a lifetime purchase whereas the standard UBS volume is easily worn out
in two or three years. Check it out. BTW, I have no connection with the
company or with anyone in the company. I just wanted to share the good news
with others who might like me wish to have their GNT exquisitely bound in
fine fine leather.
Take note, their website says that the UBS text is the one which includes the
dictionary, but that is not correct. In fact, the text is ISBN #
3-438-05111-7.

I have my new beautiful GNT in hand right now and I must say it is as
beautiful a Bible as I have ever seen.
