As a youth this was my all time favourite version of the Bible, my sister bought this for me in about 1976, I'm not exactly sure of the date, but I remember that it was at the time a Ship called The Logos berthed at Durban Harbour, South Africa, sometime in the 70's. The Way Bible I received then was always very readable and is still in perfect condition after all these years with very little deterioration. Believe me in the 70's they designed and made books to last, the quality of the binding, the paper and the cover was designed for endurance. I recently bought two more The Way Bibles exactly like this for my kids to read and they clearly enjoy and read them more than the modern versions.
