Back in late December, I preordered the brand new Zondervan Premier Collection NASB Single-Column Reference Bible in black goatskin. Arrived today! First impressions – I own two other Zondervan Premier Collection bibles (NKJV and NIV), but this copy has the best goatskin and smells amazing! The text block in my copy is lined up perfectly to the binding. This bible is big, larger than expected, and slightly larger than my Schuyler ESV Credo. The new 2K Denmark font is certainly nice, but not my favorite from the Zondervan Premier line. Regarding layout, I love the single-column SCR, but would have preferred paragraph instead of verse-by-verse. Additionally, the text is pushed considerably into the gutter. I’m not sure why the layout was designed with the text pushed that far over, although note takers will enjoy all the margin space. Overall, this is a wonderful premium NASB. Although I would have preferred this in the smaller Zondervan Premier NKJV Single-Column reference size (likely my favorite layout of any premium bible), I still love this Bible and am proud to own it. Will be a joy to read and study from for years to come.
