Reddit mentions of ESV Reader's Gospels (Cloth over Board, Timeless)

Just watch out for the single volume ESV readers. It’s got the typical thin paper. (I enjoyed it to be clear but doesn’t meet your requirement of paper thickness) The real readers bible are really designed and formatted like a typical book. And don’t go for the cheaper softcover esv multivolume set as I’ve read complaints on the quality.

I highly recommend everyone try a readers bible tho.

Here are some options in ESV that all have normal thick paper.

If you prefer NIV their multivolume hardcover set is about half the price of the ESV. Pretty sure we’ll be having more translation coming out in this format soon.

The ESV Reader's Bible has a lovely volume: A little pricy, but lovely. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Readers-Gospels-Cloth-Board-Timeless/dp/1433549816/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522233494&sr=8-1&keywords=gospels+esv+reader

NOTE: The Reader's Bible doesn't have chapter breaks like normal, and is set out more like a novel than as a typical bible. But it's lovely.
