For you wide-margin aficionados out there, Christian Book Distributors (CBD) is offering NIV Wide Margin Bibles in bonded leather for only $29.99. That's 50% off the regular price of $69.99.

You can even choose which color you want: black, burgundy, or navy blue.

For those of you who like hardbacks, the NIV Wide Margin is only $22.99, although Amazon has it cheaper at $19.79.

Since CBD is known for making exceptional deals on items they often get as remainders, it makes for interesting speculation as to whether or not Zondervan is planning new editions of the NIV Wide Margin Bible. But who knows--maybe they're just overstocked. As I've said before, I'm still holding out for a TNIV Wide Margin Bible. Yesterday, I sent a link to my blog entry on what I want in a wide-margin Bible directly to Zondervan on their contacts page. I also suggested that they look at all the comments on that entry from all of you. So hopefully, they're listening.

Also, a few weeks back I reported that CBD had NLT1 Notemaker's Bibles on the cheap for $17.99. They've now dropped their black and burgundy bonded leather editions down to $12.99 and the hardback is $7.99. Holy frijoles!
