Some criticze the NASB for not being easy to read aloud. I am more concerned with the accuracy of God's Word rather than other people's comfort with it. I find this translation highly accurate and easy to read.

This reference edition is very handy in size. My only criticism of this edition is the very tiny print size. Other reference editions of this size have better sized font; but overall I would recommend this invaluable reference bible.

My last bible was a Broadman and Holman NAS(1977). It was the bible my sister gave me in high school, and that I have used for the past 2 years since I accepted Christ into my life. When the binding broke a few weeks ago, I had to find one just like it.

After searching, this was it: Blue bonded leather, updated NASB(1995), compact size, indexed(tabs) [even has one for the concordance], red letter, and has crossreferences. It arrived today, and I love it. This is a smaller bible, and the others are correct about the small print, but I love it.

The only thing it does not have is a bookmarking ribbon, but this bible is very much worth the cost.

Wow, I just put it with my journal and it is the EXACT same size.

I'm on my fourth copy in four years, because even though it is a great size and has the full references and margins, it is a little hard to keep from tearing away from its leather bindings with regular use. So treat the book gingerly! (I'm reviewing the "Genuine Leather" ISBN, 0529109638.

I bought this Bible as a gift for my wife. I was looking specifically for a slim-line Bible in the NASB Version. I found that in this Bible. It also has the thumb index marking the beginning of each of the books. However, in the description, it never mentioned a cover for the pages. This is great for keeping the pages protected and keeping the Bible closed in a bookbag, purse, etc. However, the cover flap uses a snap which, when you are trying to snap it shut, indents the first few pages with the snap outline. That sort of wrinkles that spot on the pages, which is disappointing. If it had a magnetic or simple slip piece, it would have worked much better. Other than that, it is a great Bible. Please note, the text is small, but not difficult to read.

This is an excellent Bible to always have handy. It is a great size to have in your bag and easy to read. Be sure to get the version with the thumb index as it is easy for finding the places in the Word that you want to get to quickly. The center column is a bit hard to read but the overall text is a good size.

I left a NASB Slimline NT with Psalms on a bus in France this spring and wanted to replace it only to find that the same Bible was no longer available. This print is much smaller in this Bible (since it is both OT and NT) but I am pleased with the quality. I'm satisifed with it but I do miss my other Bible.
