Bible Question (short): The Prettiest "New American Bible"?

Question (full): Hello,

I decided I'm going to read the whole Bible, front to back, followed by the Catechism of the Catholic Church, (aka the Newer Testament :P just kidding) by separating them out as evenly as possible throughout the upcoming year of 2008, starting on New Years Day and finishing before 2009.

I want to select the prettiest updated New American Bible I can afford, a Bible I can be proud of calling the one I read everything from, since I'm committing myself to doing this. The kind of Bible someone would want to be buried with. I imagine a perty hardcover one of a dark color, possibly with elaborate ornate gold designs on it. Something like that. Full-color paintings inside it somewhere would be a plus, as well as a larger text size, but not necessary. I'm also used to each page being split up into 2 columns, not just 1.

My current Bible is 'The New American Bible,' and the latest date I can find printed in it is 1991, (Revised Psalms) so as long as the new Bible is a New American Bible of 1991 or newer, that's fine. (It's a red paperback Bible with a white cross design on the front, that many of you probably know of.)

If you could point me to any website or bookstore that may have a pretty New American Bible that I'd like, please let me know. Or whatever other description that would point me to it, such as the publisher or so forth.

Thank you
