I've owned the paperback TLV version for several years. When the cover finally gave out, I decided to upgrade to the bonded leather version. I LOVE the version, so my review is directed at functionality of this product.
1. I chose the Psalms Devotional product - I did NOT know that the Hebraic Reading Cycle pages would be removed so this could be inserted. This was disappointing to me, not to have the cycle in printed format to access easily.
2. I believe the Psalms commentary could have been formatted in a better way. Space could have been saved by causing these pages to flow together, with headings, instead of one day per page. Doing this would have made room for the Reading Cycle pages mentioned above.
3. I appreciate the different book order, and even the built in tabs that accompany the style of book that it is. Yet, because of the different order, I suggest that drilled tabs be implemented for ease of use for the reader. As it is, for this purchase, I chose to buy self-label tabs so I can get to each book quickly and easily. I don't care for these types of tabs, however, even with daily use, I still found myself struggling to find one book over the other with the thin pages. A drilled tab would be a great feature.
4. A color choice would be great! I value the price point, and know color (as well as drill tabs) add to the final customer cost - yet ... since the other versions offer the beauty of color, this bonded leather version would be an attractive alternative if options were given.
5. I LOVE the double ribbon placeholder!! THANK YOU!!!
