Can anyone describe the difference(s) between the regular NAB and the St. Joseph’s NAB?

I use the regular NAB and have seen the St Joe’s on websites and just want to know what the differences are.

Thanks for any (name removed by moderator)ut!

They both appear to be the same to me (I assume you refer to the text and notes). I have both the one published by Nelson and have seen that printed by Catholic Book Publishing (the St. Joseph edition). Only the typeface appears different.
 
The translation and notes are the exact same between the two versions. The only main difference is that the St. Joseph’s Edition has more maps (placed in the text), Holy Land photos, illustrations, and various devotional inserts (like for the Rosary and the Stations of the Cross). There are other ancillary materials, like a dictionary, doctrinal index, and extra introductory stuff at the beginning.

I find the St. Joseph’s edition is beautifully done and is a joy to read and hold. 👍
 
The only differences in NAB bibles are publication dates. The NAB was first published in 1970, the NT revised in 1985. I believe the Psalms were revised in 1991.
I like the older one better (1970)
 
The older one is better. The NAB with revised Psalms and NT contains inclusive language.

The OP is not asking about the 1970 vs 1986/1991 NAB. The question was on the “regular” NAB published by Nelson and the St. Joseph NAB published by Catholic Book Publishing. Both editions contain the 1970 OT, 1986 NT and 1991 Psalms, except that the St. Joseph has some additional front and back matter.

The 1970 NAB is out of print.
