I am very pleased with the NASB Minister's Bible by Hendrickson. A pastor or a church leader who uses NASB will be delighted by it. It is indeed a handy volume to carry when you minister to His people in need.
1. The quality of the binding is excellent. Unlike many Bibles in its price range, which is glued to the spine, this Bible is Smith Sewn (pages are stitched) - therefore, very sturdy and will not fall off. Also the Bible is made in Korea -- Korea is well-known for their quality Bible making.
2. Print quality is also excellent. It is clear and sharp. It is large enough to be easy on your eyes. Yet, the Bible is thin and light.
3. This genuine leather is soft and flexible. This is not a bonded-leather (90% leather fragments and 10% latex), which wears down very easily. This is real good leather.
4. There is a section at the back of the Bible that has "Ministry Resource Guide" for every occasion -- such as: funerals, weddings, hospital visits, batisms, infant dedications, confirmations, graduations, moving to a new home, and Christian life, etc... A very helpful tool for every pastor or a lay leader in the church. So you do not need to carry separate "Minister's Manual"
5. However, at least for my Bible, it has only one ribbon marker and not two as it has been advertised. Maybe, mine is just an exception.

Anyway, I love this Bible for its overall quality and usefulness.

4.0 out of 5 stars NASB Minister's Bible--An Excellent Buy For The Amazon Price, May 4, 2006

Considering the Amazon price, the genuine leather edition of the NASB Minister's Bible is an excellent buy. It is a very handy size. I especially like the paper and the print seems to be consistent and bold through out. I would have been willing to sacrifice the compact size for a little larger print, but even though the font size is about 8, I think, it is very clear and readable even for my 51 year old eyes. The Minister helps in the back are very good and cover many situations a minister finds himself in. So far, it seems the binding is sturdy and should be durable and last a long time. My primary criticism of it is the quality of the genuine leather. To me, it's thin. I like a thicker leather binding that is soft. I guess my calfskins have spoiled me, but the recent genuine leather Bibles I have purchased have all had thin, and what seems to me like, inferior quality leather. But again, for this price range, it is an excellent buy. As with the previous reviewer, my Bible only had one ribbon marker, and it was advertised to have two.

5.0 out of 5 stars NASB Minister's Bible--An Excellent Buy Even With Only One Ribbon Marker, May 10, 2006

I just received my NASB Minister's Bible from Amazon (very quick shipping) and like the previous reviewers I love it. So let me just say ditto to everything they mentioned with an extra praise for the Ministry Resource Guide section at the back..it has already been a big help to me. One final note...my bible also only had one ribbon marker. I contacted a very nice customer rep at Hendrickson Publishers and she told me that the first shipments inadvertently arrived with only one marker, but that is being corrected. But as I said in my review title, this is a great Bible and a great buy with only one marker...if you're like me, you'll never miss it.
