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,
