When I saw this study Bible advertised as being marked down to just 99 cents, my dentures just about fell out of my mouth and onto my floor. Just kidding, I don't wear dentures. But you get the point--I think that this is an amazing deal!

Two caveats (some would say, "drawbacks," "catches," or even "gotchas") . . . . I didn't see a place where this was noted, but I feel sure that the Bible text is the (HCS/HCSB) Holman Christian Standard, since Holman is the publisher of this study Bible and that's kinda how they've done things in similar situations in the past. Not a big deal, in my opinion, however, as from what little that I've been around it, the version seems to be of high quality (mainly meaning having accuracy and readability).

The other drawback concerns the fact that this volume covers only the Old Testament portion of the Bible. The study Bible seems to be complete for the Old and New Testaments--Amazon's got the New Testament portion, in the dead-tree, hardcover format. But, they appear not to have a digital version available for the New Testament. Perhaps that will come along before very long.
