This version is a bit dated, having been replaced on the more liberal side by the NRSV and on the conservative side by the ESV. The RSV preserves "thee's" and "thou's" in the language of prayer, i.e in addressing God. Low public reading scores reflect this fact. If you like archaic language in prayer, you should revise the numbers upward.

The New Interpreter's Study Bible: New Revised Standard Version With the Apocrypha [Energion.com Review]
I've just started using this Bible, but it looks like it may challenge my favorite, the Oxford Study Bible. The notes are exceptionally good. The pages are packed with valuable information on backgrounds. It is a bit busy, but considering the size, it would be hard for them to put more white space in there without going to two volumes.
