with nothing on the front and back side.
Golden edge
but this depends on lightning and viewing position.
There are two ribbons markers.
Cover page opens easily and stay open. As you can see there is a double end-paper ...
but second one does not open at all but you do not need that page anyway.
End-paper is made of artificial plastic-like material but cover leather is glued over paste-down.
IMO this is not very good design practice ....
because the leather will surely separate (peel of) in time.
This paste-down end-sheet should have been pasted over the leather edges...
like in the picture above.
Another problem I have found was cover overlap.
On one side the overlap is bigger ....
then the other.
Although I have great respect for the publisher I can not hide my disappointment with poor craftsmenship of my review copy.
Since the book has a lifetime guarantee, you do not have to worry about the book falling apart.
Among some minor esthetic issues bible still looks impressive ...
and robust and it will serve you well.
