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.

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.

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.

This is a wonderful bible for those who need something lightweight and portable. The fact that it is lethertex and is a reference bible is an added bonus.

Thanks for the quick service and quality merchandise. It was as advertised, arrived in a timely manner and met the need well!

My normal study has never included the NASB and I purchased this as a companion and because my pastor and church use this primarily on Sundays. This particular copy has an excellent feel and easy to read print. Got a great price and this copy of scripture will get lots of use. Praise God.

Everything I'd hoped for. Good value. This is a gift for my boyfriend and I was pleased with the "manly" appearance.

It is a pleasure to hold a book that feels good in the hand, is beautifully arranged and presented, and convenient in size to travel with. This version of the bible is highly recommended for those on the move who do not want to be burdened with weight yet have a clear well referenced bible to hand.

I love the NASB, and the thinline version is perfect for my preaching and teaching. Te colors they've added for the two-tone versions are very neat as well. My MAJOR problem is the fact that these Bibles are printed in China. Do we not have any printing presses left in America? I am concerned about Americans' jobs and they are only being hurt worse by companies sending work overseas. Next time, I will buy a different Bible, and even pay a lot more if it says "Printed in the United States of America."
