For a particular purpose this is a welcome Bible, but for a reference Bible or even for a general reading text Bible, this is probably not your best choice. "Notetaking Bible" means Wide Margin Bible -- HOWEVER, this Bible is described as having "Wide Margins" (plural) and that can be misleading to the Bible shopper -- note well: each page has ONE wide margin (singular), the inner, top, and bottom margins are not wide --the only way wide margins (plural) is true is if describing adding margins of multiple pages rather than multiple margins on any given page, since to emphasize, each page has only one wide margin. That said, if you are just taking notes, not writing headers, footers, and so on, this Bible may be great, because for starters, unlike other supposed wide margin Bibles, this one's margins are not cluttered with references, notes, diagrams for coloring, that end up taking the width right out of their supposed wide margins. Another positive is how this Bible has one of the floppiest flops in opening, none of this pushing down in the center and using a paperweight to keep it open stuff. The price is great and it seems durable (unlike Bibles that seem they will with minimum use crack or come unglued). Heads up: the pages are NOT WHITE, but yellowish ivory, which is fine if a cover-complementing, eye-pleasing aesthetic is important, but maybe not ideal for those who plan to highlight text (yellow on yellowish ivory doesn't work so great, though orange highlighting might). Finally, even though this is not a reference Bible, it does have a limited, but somewhat helpful, concordance at the back.… (más)
