A review of the Lexham Old Testament Apocrypha (LOTA), ISBN: 9781683596615. This book is a glued paperback.

The text in this volume is arranged in a single-column, paragraph format, and printed in a 9 to 9.5 point font. The paper is heavy, matte, and opaque. Dimensions in inches are 9 x 6 x 1.

All of the material in this volume was published previously in the Lexham English Septuagint except for an essay on the Apocrypha, book introductions, and 2 Esdras. The version of 1 Enoch included here is based on a manuscript "discovered in a Christian grave in the city of Panopolis in Upper Egypt." It covers most of 1 Enoch chapters 1 through 36, so much of the material preserved in Ethiopic is absent.

The following books and fragments are present:
Tobit (shorter version)
Tobit (longer version)
Judith
Greek Esther
Wisdom of Solomon
Wisdom of Sirach
Baruch
The Letter of Jeremiah
Additions to Daniel (Old Greek)
Additions to Daniel (Theodotion)
1 Maccabees

1 Esdras
The Prayer of Manasseh
Psalm 151
3 Maccabees
2 Esdras
4 Maccabees
The Psalms of Solomon
1 Enoch
