Well, this isn't actually a review although I have seen this edition and own the NLT version of this Bible (which is excellent). Here's the problem: I went to Amazon to order the NIV large print version for a computer-phobic friend and could not find any description of the color of the bound leather cover. This omission seems odd for Amazon. Typically, Zondervan makes black, navy and burgundy bound leather covers. Zondervan's web site is no help either. I guess we'll have to make the purchase locally. Just making an observation so that you're not surprised with which one Amazon sends you.
