From top to bottom: Single Column Legacy, Crossway Wide Margin, Cambridge Wide Margin
Both Cambridge and Crossway offer excellent wide margin editions of the ESV. Here are a few photos to compare the layouts between them, and I’ve thrown in the Single Column Legacy just to make your choices more difficult 🙂 You’re welcome!
The primary differences are:
Single Column Legacy – 9-point font, no references, single-column, no paper in the back
Crossway Wide Margin– 9-point font, references under the last verse on the page, no paper in the back
Cambridge Wide Margin – 8-point font, center column references, lined paper in the back for notes

Was one of these the Crossway ESV wide margin heirloom Bible? I am wondering how the paper is for highlighting and writing notes, whether ink or highlighter shows through.
Hi Jeremy. It was the genuine leather on the regular wide margin paper. I haven’t seen the heirloom edition, but I’ve heard it has the same paper as the rest of the heirloom editions, which is 28gsm Indopaque.
