Great Bible., January 27, 2003
I am so glad I purchased this Bible. I couldn't believe how small it is and still have the large print. It is just what it says it is...God's Word, nothing more, nothing less. There are no marginal references or notes, just the Word. After the Index there is a section called "Promises from the Bible" and another one called "Perspectives from the Bible" along with several pages of maps. I would recommend it to anyone who can no longer comfortably read the small print in most Bibles.

Best Bible Ever!!! Don't Trust The FEW Negative Reviews, September 13, 2006
This Bible is top notch, and is definitely LARGE PRINT, the reviewer who said otherwise must have large print confused with giant print, anyhoo this Bible's type is very easy on the eyes being a large print Bible, it is also made very well, yes, it is consructed out of Bonded Leather, which by the way this is the best leather this particular Bible comes in, you can get it in black or burgundy, i have had no problems with the Bible's binding coming loose, however i would'nt leave this or any other Bible in a hot car in direct sunlight, thats a no no for obvious reasons, the print is extra dark in both the black print and the red print (Words of Christ), sometimes the red print is a little lighter than the black in some Bible's, but not in this one, it's rich an dark, and easily stands out, i Highly Recommend this Bible and give it my Highest Awards, if there were 6 stars available this Bible would get them, oh, and for size, this Bible is not a small pocket or personal size, it is thin but is a little larger than your average Bible in length and width, giving it a great feel in the hand, and a great presence when set on the table, thanks for reading this review, i hope any mis-representations of this AWESOME Bible have been layed to rest.

Strong on text, weak on notes, April 15, 2000
By A Customer
The NASB is widely recognized as the most literal contemporary translation of the Bible, and the 1995 Update enhances this translation's readability. This Thinline edition is both a convenient and attractive presentation of the NASB text, with its slender size, large print, and tasteful binding. However, this edition has one serious drawback, not apparent until one opens the book (as I discovered the hard way!}--namely, its deletion of most of the translators' own footnotes. Though clearly this was done to save space, these notes, which discuss grammatical points and provide alternative renderings of the Hebrew and Greek texts, are the most informative of any translation; they contribute significantly to the NASB's primary value as a tool for close, detailed word study. For some readers, therefore, the Thinline's convenience and appeal to the eye may have been achieved at too high a cost to its usefulness.
