I also had high hopes in the ESV Single Column Reference Bible. Like you, I was so disappointed with the ultra-thin see-thru paper in this Bible! I could tolerate the lines between the text and references, but the paper is just way too thin. One can see the text through a couple of pages, even with the somewhat light print used in this edition. It seems I also am continually returning to my NASB Update Single Column Ref Bible or Ultra-Thin Large Print by Foundation Publications. I love the quality of both these Bibles, which are both the calfskin editions. I agree with so many others on wondering how Foundation can produce such high quality Bibles at the price they sell for. They are the best value in a quality Bible if you like the NASB, and I do. Why can't other companies take a few lessons from these fine folks. In my opinion, I have not found either an ESV or a HCSB that comes close to the quality of the Foundation Bibles. So, I guess I'll continue to make the good old trusted and loved NASB my 'go to' Bible. Oh the frustration to try to find what one is looking for in a Bible.
