Catholics have produced numerous commentaries on the Scriptures over the years, many of them written by saints. A few of the relatively modern commentaries include the New American Bible Commentary, the Navarre Commentary, and the Haydock Commentary. Some of the older commentaries (many of which can be found online) include the writings of St. John Chrysostom, St. Jerome, St. Augustine, St. Gregory of Nyssa, and St. Thomas Aquinas (esp. the Catena Aurea). Most theologian saints also have commentaries which are not usually collected in one place, but may be found by those who seek them out.
Lutheran Bible has 66 books and Catholic Bible has 73 books. There is no difference in the New Testament of Catholics and Lutheran. However, Catholics consider 7 more books as divine in the Old Testament of the Bible.
The Protestants and Catholics have mostly the same Bible. Most of the books in it are the same except for the Apocrypha. These are about 6-7 books which Catholics have in their Bible. This is the main difference between the two Bibles.

Bible commentaries offer a translation in a more familiar use of words. Sometimes the older words used in the bible are not familiar to the reader. Using a dictionary while reading the Bible is a great help. But the commentaries are not the Bible they are notes to help on understand what was trying to be said.
Catholics believe that the Holy Bible is inerrant, and guaranteed by God. If you look inside the cover, or behind the title page, you should see an Imprimatur and a Nihil Obstat; these are official Church guarantees that the Bible translation you are reading has been approved and contains no errors. Please note that protestant translations are full of errors, missing six or seven books of the Old Testament, and there is no guarantee that their translation is correct, much less any notes or commentaries.
