I really hope they address this in the next year or two. @Robert – I could be wrong, but I haven’t seen a NLT that has a sewn binding yet… I really hope they address this in the next year or two.

I was looking at those exact editions on Monday after work and came to the conclusion that I preferred the physical size of the regular Reference Thinline, but that the font size and the inner gutter were too small. I liked the font size of the Large-Print Reference Thinline, but the physical size was a little big for being a thinline and the text ghosting/bleedthrough was really distracting -- especially for a *reading* Bible. I'd love to have the regular size Ref edition with a little thicker paper and slightly larger font size. Even the LP Ref would be okay, if it had a little more heft to it and cut down on the ghosting. Thanks for posting those photos, Jeff.
