pages too thin

This Bible has some great features. But the physical quality of the book is poor. As a new Epsicopalian looking for a " Catholic" Bible, this was very helpful. I appreciated all the extra features which explain Church traditions in relation to Scripture. But it is useless if one wants to mark one's Bible with pen or marker.

This bible is wonderful. It provides thought provoking sidebars to the readings, suggested bible study programs, and is very easy to work with. A great resource for RCIA classes.
