3.0 out of 5 stars Not for rough hands, February 17, 2007

This review is from: The New American Bible, Reader's Edition (Leather Bound)

The New American Bible is one of the best translations of the Scriptures out there. It is used in the Lectionary for the Mass of the Catholic Church. This publication, however can be difficult to read and handle, due primarily to a small font size and very thin pages. The soft leather cover attracts scratches quite easily, but I can say that it is very attractive (turquoise and black). The fact that the notes and comments for certain verses appear at the end of each book makes reading the references a little difficult. I find myself having to turn to the back of each book constantly to see the translator's comments. If you don't need the notes, this is great for you! It truly is a reader's edition. If you are new to the Bible, I would recommend a version where the notes and Scriptural references appear at the bottom of each page.

Love this bible for personal study,also has catholic prayers in the front, font is a little small but the quality out weighs the lack of font size. This is a high quality bible and 20 dollars cheaper than alot of other vendors , same bible used in the mass of the catholic church.

Very happy as the quality of the leather is impeccable and it grips well in the hand. Two toned brown is stylish too. Catholic Prayers inside this Edition makes it complete and universal. I love it.
