UBS Handbook Series Old Testament & Apocrypha (35 vols.)
This collection is no longer available for purchase.
Overview
The UBS Handbooks are detailed commentaries providing valuable exegetical, historical, cultural, and linguistic information on the books of the Bible. They are prepared primarily to assist Bible translators as they carry out the important task of putting God’s Word into the many languages spoken in the world today. The text is discussed verse by verse, and is accompanied by running text in at least one modern English translation.
Over the years, church leaders and Bible readers have found the UBS Handbooks to be useful for their own study of the Scriptures. Many of the issues Bible translators must address when trying to communicate the Bible’s message to modern readers are the ones Bible students must address when approaching the Bible text as part of their own private study and devotions.

I love this commentary because it's easy to read and understand, and provides detailed information that is very helpful. It's great for everyone to use.

I have the New Testament set, but I would like to see sample pages for this. Transliterating Hebrew drives me crazy, especially when used for more than the lemmas.
