Excellent Study Bible, April 22, 2005
This Bible is an excellent study Bible. Although my eyesight is fine, I purchased it so that I could easily read along with my Bible and the KJV Old and New Testament DVDs narrated by Stephen Johnston. I would hardly call this Bible compact. As you can see from the product description it is of large dimensions and it's large print is wonderful. Although, admittedly the pages are thin, I think you would have to work to tear the pages. I was considering purchasing the KJV Deluxe Presentation Reference Edition Black goatskin leather CD286, ISBN: 0521509211. However, the drawback of purchasing a Bible like this is that it is of such fine quality that you might be hesitant to mark in the Bible or use it frequently. This Bible is of a such a value that you won't have to worry about how often you use it or if you want to highlight text or write notes in it at the ends of the chapters. This is not a wide margin Bible, but there is space for notes at the ends of many of the chapters. There are also many other fine features such as the words of Christ in red, it's thumb index, and full color maps.

The Largest print for the greatest Bible Version!, January 17, 2006
Having been born with low vision I consider it a blessing from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that this Bible is available. The Bible is large and bulky, but is so easy on the eyes. In fact, it has the largest print of any Bible available taht I know of.
If you're looking for a King James Bible in giant print, this is the one!

EASY TO READ, November 4, 2005
First let me give you the isbn number of the Bible I'm reviewing:
ISBN: 1558196439
This a burgandy bonded leather Bible with thumb index. It is the Super Giant Print Reference Bible published by Holman.
With that out of the way, let me say this is a beautiful Bible, the burgandy color is so dark that it is nearly brown. It is a heavy Bible, not easy to tote around, but the overall size is really not bad considering that it has probably the largest print size you will find in a Bible.
They key to this Bible is the print size, I know that is what I was most interested in. I was kind of afraid the print might be overly gigantic, but that isn't the case. The box says it is 18 point type. I have compared the print in this Bible to two Thorndike Press large print books, and it very similar to their 16 point type, it doesn't look larger than their 16 point type, which is fine with me, as I wanted the typeface to be similar to the Thorndike books.
The Bible has thin pages, but as heavy as it is, you would not want it to have thicker pages, which would make it weigh even more.
I am very pleased with this Bible. I think the thumb index is particularly helpful in a Bible of this size and weight. The verse references are very good. There are nice maps at the back of the book. The self-pronouncing text is also useful.
This one gets 5 out of 5 stars for its wonderfully large print size, and the beauty and usefulness of the Bible.
