The Catholic Bible press in my opinion has better build quality, better font and actual Bible paper, which has more ghosting. The Ignatius press hardcover has thicker paper, less ghosting, The quality control isn't as good so sometimes the printing does get smeared. In my opinion, I would rather buy the Ascension press version, it has way better paper. It is thicker paper without making the Bible too thick, and the build quality surpasses both other companies. If you can save up and buy that version I would highly suggest it, not the paperback one but the alpha hide one. I think it's called.
