Scott Hahn's Ignatius Catholic Study Bible
This is only the NT, not the entire Bible.
(I pre-ordered with Amazon's Two-Day 1-Click.)
Is there any good information out there on the different Catholic translations? I like the RSV & NRSV, mainly because if I'm studying with Protestants, my OT verse numbers (particularly the Psalms) match up with theirs.
I seem to see a lot of preference for the RSV over, say, the NAB, and was wondering where that came from.
Thanks!
The RSV is a more literal translation than the NAB. I use the Ignatius RSV, which is a Catholic Bible. I did an article on Catholic Bibles a while back. I'll see if I can find it.
The Dake Bible and Catholic Editions
Another Catholic Study Bible
The NT of the NAB is a particularly literal translation. The only difficulty with the NAB OT is that chunks of Hebrew text were shifted around (emendation) in an effort to make a more sensible translation. This was accepted procedure at the time but now, out of respect for the Hebrew Scriptures, Christians use the MT without emendation.
See Adele Berlin's remarks in the Anchor Bible commentary ... I've typed them out here.

Elena, I was hoping to write you an e-mail, but I can't find it on this page or on your profile.
If you'd drop me a message at altaemoeniaRomae [at] gmail [dot] com, I'd appreciate it! =)
Thanks!
