Good choice! I have that one too. I think you’ll be pleased with it, and with moderate care, should last a long time. It’s a facsimile reprint, but a very good one. It maintains the original size of the text (IOW, it is not reduced.) They were able to do this by having pretty small margins. Therefore the notes, while smaller than the Biblical text, are still very readable (and that was the original size anyway.) It’s too bad shipping was an issue. I guess Loreto was not willing to ship to Australia? Otherwise it is a complete, unabridged version of the Haydock Bible. There is much supplementary material as well, including a 128 page profusely illustrated Catholic Bible Dictionary, as well as a 58 page profusely illustrated Catholic History of the Bible, not to mention the usual Haydock Bible supplementary stuff (including reproductions of the plates that accompanied their Bible’s exemplar.) Plus it comes with a ribbon marker. I don’t recommend storing it upright in a bookshelf, due to the heaviness of the Bible and the stress it would put on the binding. I keep mine laying flat, and it will stay good as new for a long time.
