(The lack of goatskin is nothing compared to the lack of readable formatting.)<br /><br />They need to do a "Clarion DRC" - 80k cross-references, single-column paragraphed, black-text setting with superscripted, small verse numbers.<br /><br />Anything that is formatted like a dictionary - less than a sentence per paragraph, with numbers intruding at the start of every line, and carriage-returns at the end - is a pain to read; this is doubly true when reading archaic English (although the DRC is notably less archaic than the KJV).<br /><br />Not to mention all of the other ill effects - from the perspective of a reader who wishes to read the Word written - of the "classic" setting.ThisVivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728246384531180424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272296692697032264.post-84951482938638714132013-06-19T08:53:00.369-07:002013-06-19T08:53:00.369-07:00This is the 2009 edition, right?
For Douay-Rheims...This is the 2009 edition, right?<br /><br />For Douay-Rheims Bibles, I think that the most pressing issue is to produce a paragraph version -- a single column version without paragraph formatting would, I think, simply be awkward.<br /><br />I do agree with you that synthetic covers can often be better than leather covers.Theophrastushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981876713019298465noreply@blogger.com
