4.0 out of 5 stars Things you ought to know about this Bible ......., August 8, 2005

By	J. Swartz (Fresno, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Overall,this is a very nice Bible (especially considering the price). However, there are a few things you ought to know before making the purchase:
1) Giant Print = 9.5 point type. Despite what one of the other reviews states, it is NOT 14 point type. Therefore, although the font is larger than what you'll typically find in most Bibles, I think it would be more accurate to describe it as LARGE print (not GIANT print).
2) This Bible is NOT "leather bound." In fact, it is not even "bonded leather." It is, in Zondervan's words, "leather look." In other words, it LOOKS like leather, but is actually a (somewhat) bendable PAPER cover. Looks nice, but it's NOT the real thing!
3) Although I was expecting the cover to be BLACK, as the picture seemed to indicate, the cover is actually BURGUNDY. This may not be important to you, but it's still something you should know, I think.
4) I was expecting a ribbon marker, but there isn't one. (I guess I shouldn't assume.) :)
Bottom line: it's still a fine Bible, but it's not all that I'd hoped it would be. Hope this review helped! J. Swartz

5.0 out of 5 stars Really is Large Print!, March 30, 2005

By	S Donahue (United States) - See all my reviews

This is a good edition of the NASBU. The print is dark and large and readable.It is LARGE print, not GIANT PRINT, and I think it is 9.5. But it is DARK. The binding has improved greatly since when it first appeared. The leather does not feel so plastic-ky. It's a sewn binding, folks!!! made in Korea.It would be nice if Zondervan would put this one in Genuine Leather! A cheap, Imitation Leather edition without a ribbon marker and dull-gold page edging is also available.
There are Book Intros and a nice concordance. I find no faults here. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars What I wanted and more!, October 16, 2005

By	S. Ross "Shoshannah" (Ashford,Kent. UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: NIV Holy Bible Giant Print Reference Edition, Thumb Indexed, Black Leather-Look (Leather Bound)

I especially wanted a large print Bible with Jesus' Words in red. I am delighted with what I got. The print is bold as well as large, and I can read it perfectly without my reading spectacles! The extras, of quality maps, a creative reference section, and a thumb index makes this Bible Edition extremely user-friendly and great value for money. Cross-references in the poetic texts are beside the verse; but with the prose texts are listed at the end of the paragragh. This is neater and therefore easier to read and doesn't distract the reader from the flow of the text. This is better than I anticipated!
