I used Crudens but found the completeness of Strong's and the layout to be more helpful to me. I rarely use the Greek and Hebrew dictionaries, where I found it to be "correcting" what the English word or text said, I merely discarded it.

I want to warn everyone of a form of binding you may not care for after your cover starts to crumble: Stay away from "bonded" leather. "Bonded" leather covers are like those desks and bookshelves you get at Odd Lots that are ground up wood pulp, that collapse, and can't be glued or nailed. Bonded leather is ground up leather fragments, leftover leather from other products, that is sprayed onto a backing and then heat molded. For real quality endurance, and as usual they are more expensive, if you can get a top grain leather binding it will last for decades. I never owned anything bound in bonded leather that ever lasted past 5 years. On the street, a good top grain cowhide leather binding it also great to shield you from a thrown beer bottle too.

Grace and peace
