I bought this Bible because I had read positive reviews of this translation, had enjoyed the Kindle version, and wanted a hard copy. There are a couple of low-cost editions of the ESV besides many upscale versions, but I didn't need anything fancy so I went for this one. It has surpassed my expectations. The translation is both familiar and yet fresh, motivating more frequent and thoughtful reading. Often a slight change of wording or an informative footnote will shed new light on a familiar passage, compared with other standard translations. If I had to stick with just one translation, this would be the one. In terms of format and construction, this edition is a good balance between thrift and practicality; the actual cover is just as elegant as in the photo, though the pages are rather limp compared to some other versions, slightly slowing down the process of leafing through the volume. Excellent value and highly recommended overall.Read full review
It's completely usable and I will definitely read it, but I was a bit bummed that the paperback cover was a bit bent and that this Bible has yellow highlighter marks in it.
