I love it when someone rethinks an old convention. Adam Lewis Greene has done that with his new printing of the Bible. The project is called Bibliotheca. And the goal is to produce a Bible that is physically and typographically elegant and beautiful and therefore more enjoyable to read.
Check out his pitch video. You will quickly get sucked into the vision for the project.

What do you think? Would you be interested in a four volume Bible? Would the change in formatting help you read the Bible? I would love to hear your thoughts.
Update: This project is catching the attention of many. Here are some thoughts from others:

I would love to own these books and have the opportunity to learn more and share this with my family.
The only thing i disagree with is getting rid of the verse numbers and chapter numbers. As to those are important. Everything else is very cool though and a wonderful Idea.
