Genesis by
I'm holding off any rating because it doesn't feel right to add one for a book of the Bible but I wanted to add a note about this edition specifically.
The design is beautiful and you can tell a lot of care has been put into it. The pages alternate between a page of scripture and a blank page with a faint dot grid (dots are smaller and not as dark as in bullet journal notebooks). The dots are perfectly aligned with the text on the reverse page of each sheet, so that any notes taken line up nicely as well.
Pages are definitely thicker than in traditional Bibles, so pens don't bleed through as much. Though I still wrote with a pencil to be sure. There is a lot of space for annotations with additional blank dot grid pages at the back of the book.
The text is set in a single column and there are no footnotes. This is useful for undistracted reading of words from the Bible only, or if you prefer to use other supplementary material with the ESV translation apart from notes printed by Crossway in other editions.
The binding is paperback, not hardcover but the cover is made of slightly thicker card stock. The cover keeps its shape well if you want to carry it around with you in a bag.
