FEATURES: 

• 
  High-quality, foil-stamped cloth cover materials and Smyth-sewn binding meant to last a lifetime

• More than 75 in-depth word studies of key words found in each Old Testament book
• Ribbon marker for easy referencing between pages during study, teaching, or sharing
• The Old Testament Handbook features the highly readable, highly reliable 
• Compact, organized study aids are extremely beneficial to the student of the Bible. Maps, word studies, time lines, etc. help in understanding and visualizing the who, what, when, where, and why of Scripture. So "The Old Testament Handbook" should prove to be an invaluable aid for indepth study.
• The book is beautifully and classically bound with study spine (lays flat from the onset of use) and cloth covered board binding. 
• However, I believe that the interior designers failed to understand that tiny print, light colored print on colored backgrounds, and use color-flooded or color-saturated pages do not lend themselves to study.
• The text is extremely difficult to read for me. So I checked with a relative that is substantially younger than I and they, too, were aghast at the difficult to read text.
• So in my opinion a second edition should be considered for printing with typical black text on white (or light cream) pages. Larger type fonts throughout the book should be used.
• Consideration should be given for the fact that eye strain discourages study.
• My rating: 5-stars for content. 2-stars for presentation. 5-stars for binding.
