ESV Study Bible -- coming Oct. 15

I'm all about The English Standard Version. It's a precise translation, and yet beautifully written and easy to read.

I was excited to discover that the ESV is coming out on October 15 with a study version. It includes commentary produced by over 95 contributing scholars, full color illustrations and maps, and if you buy the hard copy edition you get the online edition for free. Considering that more often than not my experience reading the Bible is usually characterized by a few "huhs?" here and there, I trust that this is going to be a really helpful tool.
