I purchased this for my wife, and she thinks it's ideal to put in her purse, or just carry around on its own. The snap flap works well - especially if you are accustom to inserting notes within the pages. I have a pocket size, which is also great to have with me (OT and NT), but the font of this version is much more readable.

Here are the actual dimensions: 6 inches high, 4 inches wide (4-1/8 inches wide including the flap, which sticks out just a bit, but the flap is flexible), and 1 inch thick.

The print is very readable. I'm in my 40's and have worn glasses or contacts most of my life, and I have no problem reading the text. They made very good use of the space on each page in order to keep this Bible small, but with readable print.

There are no book introductions, which is just fine with me.
There is no concordance.
There is no ribbon marker.
There are no cross references.
The Words of Christ are in red text.
The page edges are gold-gilded.
There are no maps.
There are standard footnotes that come with every NASB.
The text is in two-column format (like newspaper print).
The font appears to be 8 point type.

This Bible is great for travel, or if you go for a walk and want to slip it in your back pocket for reading along the way. The snap/button flap keeps the pages from getting ruined. The leather binding appears to be sturdy.

This is great for a compact Bible. I'm very happy with this item, and I would buy it again.

I got two of these. The size is amazing--it's much smaller than my other compact reference Bible. That is without compromising the font sizes. I love the NASB translation. This is exactly what I need when I travel. I would definitely recommended it to friends.
