Can you help me find a Black NKJV hardcover Bible?

I'm looking for a Black NKJV. I want a raw Bible no references, concordance, no suggested verses on the side, just the raw Bible with good paper. If you own a bible described above, can you please tell me who are the makers that I may buy one.

this is the deluxe model - lifetime guarantee, calfskin cover, but not thumb-indexed (which usually adds $10 dollars to the cost). I could not locate the font size.

General notes:

Cover quality (from best to least)
- calfskin or goatskin
- genuine leather
- "premium" imitation leather (doesn't say "premium", but usually the cover material has a trademarked brand that is listed, like "NuLeather")
- bonded leather
- hardcover
- "cheap" imitation leather / flexcover
- laminated
- paperback
- mass market paperback

Font size is measured in "points" - abbreviated "pt". 8 pt is the average Bible font size. Most compact Bibles use 7 pt. or less (large print compact Bibles usually use 8 pt - which is large print for a compact Bible) *Standard* (non-compact) large print Bibles generally use 9-10 pt. Giant print can be 11 pt or larger. If the reader has good eyes, the compact Bibles will be no problem. If the reader is older (45 and up), you will probably want to avoid 7pt Bibles.

Any of the Bibles with gilded edges should have decent paper. The "thin" Bibles, however, will use very thin (though still high-quality) paper. Mass market paperbacks use the lowest quality paper.

Two of the Bibles are single column. This means that there is only one column of text on each page instead of two. Look at almost any Bible and you will see 2 columns. 1 column **can be** easier for some people to read and to locate specific verses but generally uses more pages (larger Bible).

As far as I know, Thomas Nelson is the only company publishing NKJV Bibles, as they own the copyright. I believe all those I have listed are published by Thomas Nelson.

it's funny how you care about the color of the cover of your holy scripture. you wouldn't want to be seen walking around holding a bible that clashed with your outfit, right? you'd walk into church and everyone would be whispering to each other 'that bible doesn't go with that outfit at all! are they poor or something, that they can't afford bibles that match their clothes?'. the horror.

anyway, amazon has lots of them.
 
They are as close to you as any good bookstore or Christian bookstore. If you can't afford to buy one, just about any Christian or Christian church would be more than happy to get you one.
