. . . over earlier New American Bibles.And has Direct Verse Jump, too! Yay!I confess that the NAB is not my favourite translation but I have had plenty of exposure to it over the last 25 years. Every year I buy Abide in My Word,Abide in My Word 2015: Mass Readings at Your Fingertipswhich is a compilation of all the Mass NAB scripture readings for every day of the year.In my pre-ebook days, I would take a paperback NAB with me on trips because it was the smallest lightest study Bible I had.To me the notes are the best part of the NAB even though I may not always agree with their critical slant.The translation itself I find pedestrian & uninspiring but this Revised Edition is better than the original, as advertised.To see what I mean, read the Magnificat ( Luke 1: 46 ff) in the Douay Bible and compare that to the NAB.
