I use the New American Bible Revised Edition from Saint Benedict Press (2011 by Good Will Publishers). It has extensive footnotes, so it is rather thick, but that in my mind is a good measure of a good Bible!  It is available from Tan Books, a "traditional Catholic publishing company" and which is now owned by Saint Benedict Press. Various versions are available, including e-books.  My copy is [https://tanbooks.com/products/books/nabre-new-american-bible-revised-edition-black-leatherette/ NABRE (Black Deluxe Leatherette)] for $44.95. (You can find it cheaper on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/dp/1935302574/ here])

Even just contemplating the structure of the Catechism is a worthwhile exercise. The flow of ideas and structure of topics and Scripture has been incredibly well-thought out. Indeed, this book represents 2000 years of thinking!
