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,
