Inside an Allan's Reference ESV
From time to time, I intend to post answers to some of the most frequently asked questions I receive. The biggest by far has to be this one:Q. How does the interior of the Allan's Reference ESV differ from the one available from Crossway? A. Not a lot. R. L. Allan's is essentially taking a text block printed by Collins, the UK publisher of the ESV, and binding it. Type style and size are the same. The biggest difference you will notice is that the UK edition does not put the words of Christ in red. Also absent are the book introductions familiar from the American version. You may run across the occasional Anglicized spelling, but if you're familiar with the Classic Reference edition published by Crossway, there will be no big shocks when you open the Allan's ESV. The difference is the binding and the art-gilt edges.
