What is the character of the notes included in the NEB? Textual, commentary, something else?
Similar to to that of other translation, mainly alternative renderings of a given text.
The value of NEB is that it is not bound by traditional renderings of text. A pioneer of dynamic equivalent translation. Rich in English
Do not confuse this Bible with the NET http://www.logos.com/product/4468/the-net-bible
Which has very extensive notes on the text (A translators bible).
Also might want to think about New Interpreter's Bible (12 vols.). A wonderful set done by top scholars of evangelic and many other backgrounds.

I fear this one will take a while ... despite all efforts to generate additional interest it's still languishing at around 40%
Why should we desire have these translation in Logos?
1) The NEB is a non traditional bible and so makes a great comparison bible.
2) ? to be continued...
To quote one reader Compared to the other "serious" bible versions, the REB does not have the specific agenda (some say bias) of the NIV. Plus I find it is an easier read than the NRSV; which I also find very good. and another reader says The text of this bible is the best ever, since the Authorised Version, as far as dignity and readability are concerned.

And for myself i find it very poetic in translation reminding me in many ways of the lovely cadence you tend to find in the the KJV, but in modern english.
