Have seen this a few times on Ebay, and have some questions for anyone that might have a copy…
  1. It looks like this is the full 1966 version, with all the notes/cross references/etc. Can anyone confirm this?
  2. How is the ultra-thin paper? Standard (modern) bible-paper? Thin enough that extra care is required when using? Crazy-fragile tissue paper? How is the bleed-through (standard version is very opaque in my opinion)?
  3. If you’ve held/used it as well as the regular 3" thick regular version, do you feel the comfort of holding this outweighs any additional care needed to prevent damaging the pages? Other than thickness, size appears to be the same as the thick version.
  4. Any other thoughts on replacing the 3" lead weight with this edition? Any problems I should watch for on these in the used market?
Thanks.
 
The only thin paper Jerusalem Bible that I own is the semi-compact reader’s edition, but of course this does not have the extensive notes. I have seen them on e-bay. If you buy one, lets us know!

If I do, I’ll probably submit a review to Tim’s bible blog.
