I've had this bible for about 6 months now, and it is a great bible for it's price. This bible is the updated New American Standard Bible. This bible is pretty easy to read (though not as easy as the NIV or NLT) but it is also considered to be the most literal English translation today.

This is a nice personal sized bible, and it is perfect for a daily reader and a bible to take to bible studies and church. Every book has a summary at the beginning, and there are a couple of maps and other types of study aids that are scattered throughout the bible. Otherwise, it is a plain, center column reference bible and it is a red letter edition (which I personally like).

But the one major problem I have had with this bible is the binding. The pages are simply glued into the spine, and because of that, after a few months, whole sections of my bible began to fall out. I had to use Elmer's glue to re-glue the sections back in, and thankfully, that seems to have done the trick for now.

Still, the font size is nice, the center column references are nice, and the bible is a nice size and the price is fantastic. The only really complaint I have is the binding, and had the binding not been an issue, I would have given this bible 5 stars. But since losing whole sections from the binding isn't a small problem, I am forced to give this bible 3 stars.

This bible is great for a daily reader, but if you're looking for a bible that is going to last a lifetime, or at least a really long time, I would suggest spending a little extra to make sure you get a bible that is bound better.

This is a great Bible in my opinion... The most literal translation, red letters, and a center column reference so you know where that OT quote is coming from. It's also a handy size - not as bulky as a study Bible yet large enough to stay open when you set it down, unlike those tiny ones. The concordance is 59 pages, but sometimes I still have to pull out another one to find what I'm looking for. But still my Bible of choice right now.

Great quality. We had been looking for a nice NASB Reference Bible and was amazed to find the leather bound here for such a great price.

Our church congregation has been presenting these NASB Bibles upon baptism for years now. And with free shipping, Amazon always has the best pricing. These relatively thin and well designed Bibles seem to last their owner's a long time. Availible in both black and burgundy bonded leather, quality features include: stitched and glued binding; easy reading twin columns with references down the middle; red letter; concordance; maps; presentation pages; and marker ribbon; box.

The only feature missing that is sometimes desired are the scalloped-out markers for each book. However we advise against adding the stick-on page tabs because they can tear pages.
