Final Editions and Parting Thoughts

The final two editions have been posted: the Standard LEB mid-size (1 Vol. v012o) and Philippians Standard2 (PLFP08C2HR2Col B50 LEB2 v012o). These are Reference Editions with 2 columns and large margins. They show what's possible, but are still far from perfect.

I've tried to illustrate and create a new type of study Bible, but don't have the resources to take it any further. Many issues remain in the areas of marketing, content, technology, printing, and business. I learned a lot, among which is that the remaining issues and other concerns have convinced me to direct my attention elsewhere. If you are reading this and have any interest in this project, please contact me via the information provided on the About page.

New Editions Added

The "Standard" edition was expanded to include "perfect page proportions" for improved aesthetics and for writing notes in the margins. This is called either the Writer's or Study edition (internally). 3 versions of Philippians were uploaded (1 column, 2 column, and large print), and 6 versions of the entire New Testament in 1 volume (same options, but in 8.5 x 11 and 6 x 9 sizes). The extra space for notes is handy, but comes at the cost of more pages and larger page size. The 8.5 x 11 inch version is the same number of pages as the 8.5 x 11 inch 1 column Standard edition (~1,000 pages), but twice the number of pages as the 8.5 x 11 inch 2 column Standard edition (~500 pages).
