What would you like to see the most in a 2nd ed. New Testament? Feel free to vote by leaving a comment below!
1) Black goatskin cover
2) Navy blue goatskin cover
3) Reference New Testament (Old Testament passages cited by Jesus or the disciples included in an appendix - mainly excerpts from Psalms, Jonah, Isaiah [each reference would include the entire OT chapter for context!]) - We can make this in very much the same form factor and font without it getting too thick.
4) Other - let me know in the comments below!

Please consider 1. moving the verse numbers to the side of each line (in the margin area), 2. using paper with less bleed-through, 3. line matching, 4. a darker (more burgundy) red for the red-letters, 5. Consider using the Pure Cambridge Edition (PCE) of the KJV NT text, 6. adding family record (births/deaths/family tree) pages, 7. addition of all the (and only) the original notes and definitions found in the margins of the 1638 version of the KJV (where the remaining original translators corrected issues from the 1611 & 1629 printings), 8. removal of the word "Page" at the top of each page, and 9. offer a version in dark brown leather.
I just purchased the red leather new testament. but my dream is to get one with the new testament books in chronological order and black leather
Have you thought of using gustave Dore illustrations to bring a visual element to the New Testament? The way the chapter and verse is done is distracting and interrupts the flow of reading.
Number 1 and 2, and polish some issues where chapters are starting ending awkwardly as pointed by Tim Wildsmith in his video.
No verse numbers, more Paragraphs, and with old testament everything stays the same as purely reading Bible.
I have enjoyed the Hendrickson NT because of it's 2 columns, with paper that doesn't show print from the opposite side too much, has generous inner margins and was smith sewn. But the paper currently is not as thick, and the artificial cover on the original is breaking down. If only they kept the thicker paper and had a leather cover.
