I will also add that there was glue come out from the spine onto the bookmarks which was a little annoying but not a deal killer. I figured overtime, this would cause me a problem so I returned it. It is so smooth!Īfter posting the previous review, I discovered that the outside page that is glued to the black vinyl was torn right where the glue was at. I love the 10.5 font size, and the full-size but thin footprint it is so well known for. Overall, I would highly recommend the Omega. I am not a super particular person when it comes to having everything perfect, but I wanted to let folks know that there are some quality control issues out there form the Netherlands, not just China. that I have seen) and on one of the cover pages. However, there were a few pages that had some stress marks that looked like the block was picked up by a mechanical arm, or was put under some heavy pressure.I decided that it was not worth the return because the wrinkles are only on one text page (Gen 20. To that end, I would say you definitely get what you pay for. I have never had such a wonderfully soft and flexible Bible before. The leather on the bible is absolutely stunning. The box is nicely constructed (an excellent thing to store/transport the Bible in) and looks like it could take some abuse. It comes in a super nice box wrapped with an awesome velvet covering.

This is a great choice if you want a truly thinline premium Bible with print large enough for most to easily read. This Bible is very supple and lies open in any place.

The soft matte goatskin has a wonderful natural grain that I can see and feel and isn’t as pebbly as some. Mine is black goatskin, but the new colors look amazing too. I’ve had mine since 2016 so I don’t know if it’s identical to the ones sold now (2023), but the description seems the same although of course the price was lower then. This is an excellent premium quality ESV.
