This review is from: NASB Ultrathin Reference Bible (Brown/Light Brown, Leathertex Two-Tones) (Leather Bound)

If you are looking for an inexpensive but quality NASB, this is it.
1. The NASB (revision of ASV) is clearly more literal than ESV (revision of RSV). However, ESV is indeed more readable. The preference of translation lies in the user. I for one, am willing to sacrifice readability (style) over accuracy. So I believe, for my need, NASB is the best there is.
2. As for this particular Bible, I am pleased. It is "Smyth Sewn" -- that is pages are stitched and not glued to the spine like many Bibles produced today. This alone merits high mark.
3. This is NOT leather (bonded or genuine) even though Amazon describes it that way, but it is IMITATION leather called, "Leathertex" but it is high quality. The material is soft and flexible. Its durability falls in somewhere between genuine leather and hard cover.
4. It has basic Bible helps: (a) Center column cross-references (b) Color maps and (c) Basic Concordance.
5. HOWEVER, while the fonts are clear, they are not dark enough for me. The fonts are printed little light. But this is a minor issue.

Overall I love the Bible. So if you are looking for inexpensive NASB, you will not be disappointed with this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing Pages, July 11, 2008

This review is from: NASB Ultrathin Reference Bible (Blue/Gray, Leathertex Two-tones) (Leather Bound)

I just received this Bible today, and I was very pleased with the cover, the print font and the center-column references. I hit a snag when I noticed that every other pair of pages were 'stuck' together by the silver edging, and that a few of the pages had not been cut through at the top to separate them. Then, as I was searching through to bookmark some of my favorite passages, I discovered four pages missing from Psalms. Obviously, not Amazon's fault, but the publisher/printer. Sending it back, hopefully a new one won't have these problems. This is a first for me, as everything else I've ordered from Amazon has been wonderful so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Thin Bible, June 15, 2006

This review is from: NASB Ultrathin Reference Bible (Blue/Gray, Leathertex Two-tones) (Leather Bound)

I've wanted a Bible that wasn't big and bulky to carry around (like many study/commentary Bibles) and wanted something that was simple, durable, and readable. This NASB Ultrathin does what it is intended to do and has become my primary Bible that I read from.
