The NRSV continues its resurgence as evidenced by the fact that OUP will release a new wide-margin NRSV in February, the first wide margin NRSV published in over a decade. Here is the description from CBD’s website:
Product Description
Perhaps you're one of those studious, deliberate readers who likes to underline phrases, create outlines, list cross-references, etc. Now you don't have to resort to cramped lettering or words in the gutter. This single-column text, with 2-inch wide-ruled margins, allows you ample room for making all manner of notes. 1632 pages, hardcover. Oxford University.
Publisher's Description
The Notetaker's Bible offers the perfect format for students of the Bible who wish to make their own notes--whether scholarly notations or spiritual insights--rather than rely on the words of others.
Some wide-margin Bibles have only slightly larger margins on both sides of the page. And writing in the gutter is nearly impossible. In The NRSV Notetaker's Bible, we've eliminated those frustrations by giving you an extra-wide, two-inch outside margin. And because the text is a single column, your notes are always right beside the relevant passage. Moreover, we've added rules make it even easier to keep on track. For more expansive thoughts, you can turn to the back of the Bible for additional ruled pages.
In addition, this is the only available wide-margin Bible to feature the highly-regarded New Revised Standard Version translation, the preferred translation in most academic settings, as well as many churches and homes. So whether you're a student or professor, pastor or lay person, The NRSV Notetaker's Bible will fit your Bible study needs. Its open margins are a perfect match for your open mind.
The NRSV Notetaker's Bible is available in hardcover as well as in deluxe cloth and bonded leather, ideal for presentations and gift giving.

I’d prefer a page without the ruled lines, but maybe that’s just me.
