Oxford Cambridge NEB NT New English Bible Navy Leather Art Gilt 130H These are exceedingly rare, but over years and diligent searching I’ve acquired several of these and decided to part with them from my personal collection. This is a navy 130H NEB with the New Testament only. It features perhaps the most pleasant reading format available for the Bible, single column with a rather perfect character line count, with the verse numbers outside the text. The gilding has some mild abrasions, but the way the art-gilt reflects light, you’d think it was merely faded. The binding imitation leather or "rexine," but it is much more flexible than most of the others I’ve handled. That being said, it doesn’t really want to bend and it would need some gentle usage before it softened up. I found no writing in the text, though the front blank page has an inscription. I found a crumpled page in the very back and the binding has an indentation on it. Black letter Reinforced sewn text block 6 x 4 x .5 inches Dime used for comparison Note: I do not accept returns unless the item was not as I described because of a mistake I made. If the item is smaller than you thought it would be (because you didn’t read the description with dimensions), that’s on you. I do not cancel orders for any reason, even if you accidentally ordered it. It takes about 3 steps to purchase an item, so if you paid for it, it’s yours. I make these annoying rules because so many customers have recently treated the purchase of items flippantly and I have to draw a line somewhere. Well, here it is. I always list any writing, stains, tears, or imperfection of any kind. And I always list the condition conservatively, so you should expect the item to be in better condition than listed. Unlike the vast majority of sellers out there, I refuse to hide imperfections through cleverly taken pictures or obscure descriptions. I try to include as many pictures as necessary to highlight the imperfections rather than the beauty of the items, which is part of why I have an elevated Seller Status and perfect feedback in which many consistently report back “just as described” or “better than described.” If I miss something by accident, please contact me so I can make it right. My flawless feedback should speak for itself, but you won’t be disappointed! Thank you for your business and God bless!
