I am so thrilled to have a Spanish Bible from Laridian that I purchased this immediately, even though it's not my perferred translation. I hope that eventually, they'll make the Reina-Valera 1960 available, which IS my favoured translation. (The RV60 is more or less equivalent to the KJV in English, whereas the NVI is the equivalent of the English NIV).
What surprised me was the absolute thoroughness of the translation with appendices and preface, etc. all in Spanish and the inclusion of the notes and glossary, which I didn't expect.
This is my first exposure with the NVI and I'm pleased with how well it reads. For someone for whom Spanish is a second language, the NVI does read "easier" than the RV60 and the language is definitely more contemporary.
Great job, Laridian and a definitely welcome addition to your reportoire!
Don
