The overall feel is lighter and more airy than either the English or the previous Spanish edition, and I love the fact that poetry is rendered as poetry (seen in Pslams, Proverbs, the Song of Solomon, and scattered other places). All in all, this makes this edition much larger and heavier than the non-LDS Spanish edition that it replaced. In the end this is probably the largest factor that makes this edition about 25% longer than the English edition (I do know that Spanish tends to be somewhat longe than English - but its not 25% longer), despite the fact that the page size of my English edition is substantially smaller. I prefer more compact type, all else being equal. I’m sure that the designers had good reason for this, but for me it was a little annoying. It looks like it is perhaps 14 point, where my english edition is more like 10 point type. The first thing I noticed when I opened this bible for the first time was the size of the type. But I do have some thoughts about the design and footnotes of this edition. I’m not going to dive into any details about the quality of the translation, since I don’t feel qualified to do that (I’d hesitate to do it even in my mission language, Portuguese, despite the fact that I regularly translate in that language and speak it on a daily basis). So I thought I would pass on my impressions.
