Summary: Great Size for Bed Table
Comment: This edition of the NAB (Revised) has been great for me
to keep on my bedside. It is a rugged construction and a
convenient size to keep open in your hand as you lay down.
The type face is a little small, though, so some folks
may need to wear glasses for a little bedtime reading.

The NAB (Revised) suffers from some uneven commentary. If
you read the introductions to the books and the notes, you
will find that some books are much better commented than others.
The editors should have done a much better job bringing these
differing commentaries up to the same standards. The commentary
on Romans seems quite thorough. Other books have verses
that leave you thinking "Hunh?" with no comments.

The cross-referencing notes, however, are consistently excellent. Also, this translation of the new testament is
designed to balance literal translation with readability. Mostly, they went for the literal translation when those goals seemed contradictory, but it is certainly more readable than, for example, the Jerusalem bible, and considerably more literal
than, say, the New International Version.
