In response to a few questions in the comments on my review of the NCB Deluxe Gift Bible, here are a few more photos showing the italic font which is used in the introductions to each biblical book, the black-and-white maps at the back of the Bible, and the two black-and-white illustrations of Moses and the four evangelists (which are the only illustrations I have found in this Bible.

Italic Font in Book Introductions

Both the St. Joseph Personal Size Edition and the Deluxe Gift Bible have book introductions printed in italics. On a first comparison, I thought the font was the same in the two editions, but the Deluxe Gift BIble’s introductions are printed in bold (and italics) with narrower line spacing. Based on a comment from Josh on the previous review post, I can see that the font is actually different. The shape of a lower-case “g” is different between the two fonts. Here is a comparison photo:

Illustrations

The only two illustrations I’ve found in the Deluxe Gift Bible are a picture of Moses at the beginning of the Bible and a picture of the four evangelists at the beginning of the New Testament:

Note that for general introductions to sections of the Bible or types of literature (in the photo above, the introduction to the New Testament), the text is printed in normal font. Italic font is used for introductions to individual biblical books.

Black-and-White Maps

There are 8 pages of maps at the back of the Deluxe Gift Bible, printed in black-and-white on normal Bible paper. Here is a photo of two of the maps:
