Format:Imitation Leather
This is advertised as being leather, but I would confidently suggest that it is actually faux leather, and not a particularly luxuriant one at that. However, this is in no way a negative review, as this is the best release yet of the British version of the ESV text (admittedly there is not a lot of competition).
So, what we get here, at last, is a decent-sized font issue WITHOUT the distracting cross-references which appeared in Collins' first set of 'anglicized' ESVs, released several years ago.
The translation is good - basically it's the old RSV modernised from an evangelical perspective. It makes a good choice for close study, although, in truth, I still prefer the RSV, despite its age.
There is a release which is identical, save for having a slightly nicer (in my opinion) cover, described as 'Midnight Blue', but looking more like black: ISBN-10 0007360665. On both the inner-binding cracks rapidly.
It's a shame that Harper Collins do not do more to push the British text of the ESV. If you don't mind reading the US text then Crossway Books (and now others too) produce a plethora of better-bound releases.
To sum up. Good translation, passable binding, excellent value.

Format:Imitation Leather
Having seen a friend using an ESV Bible from Amazon, I purchased 4 copies through you. They came in a couple of days and I am delighted with them. The Bibles are elegant, thin, soft faux-leather covered, gilt-edged, and the print is extremely readable. All this for just a fraction of their true value. Well done, Amazon!

Format:Imitation Leather
I came across this particular Bible when I was trying to find a study Bible, I don't know why this comes up as an option as although it has a concordance- it does not have any of the commentaries one would expect of a Bible. But besides that it really is a wonderful Bible.

Previous ESV text, get-what-you-pay for quality
Nice touch, not so good quality (the paper inner binding started to crack after two days of use...), but then this is a 'value' Bible :). Read more

Loved it but the pages were too thin
I loved the leather but I found the pages were too thin, you have to be quite delicate with it. My dad had recently bought himself a bible too so I ended up swapping with him. Read more

Really lovely looking Bible. Contains both the Old and the New Testament, which is good as I was a bit worried that it wouldn't. Gold surrounding the pages. Read more
