Product Description

Back by popular demand - the NKJV Wide Margin Reference Bible. This Bible provides ample room for note-taking right in the margins. Printed on heavy paper to lessen "show-through" from ink or pencil inscriptions, each page has a wide margin completely surrounding the text. Center-column references and translation notes open doors to in-depth Bible study, and additional study helps include introductions to all the books of the Bible, a harmony of the Gospels, full-color maps, and a 66-page concordance. The beautiful bonded leather cover comes in black and burgundy, with gilded page edges and a gift box. A super value for those who want a good wide margin reference Bible in a modern translation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Edition of the NKJV, April 26, 2002

By	W. Clay Knick (Winchester, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While Cambridge makes the best Bibles Thomas Nelson has done
a wonderful job with this edition of the NKJV. In fact I wish
they had a KJV just like it for my collection! The leather is
very nice and the text is quite good, with good cross references.
I also like it that the text is black letter, not red letter.
This is a very good edition of the NKJV, in fact it might be the
best NKJV Bible in print. The NKJV is a good literal translation
and it still retains the beautiful literary sound of the KJV.
There are some who believe that this is the version for
memorizing Scripture. Again, this is an excellent edition of the NKJV.
Good job Thomas Nelson!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, November 9, 2001

By	Denny Wilson (Odessa, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

I have purchased three of these Bibles. The first one is almost worn out. I purchased two additional Bibles so that I could always have this Bible available to me. I love it that much. The font is comfortable. The references are very helpful. The margins are wide. The binding is good. The leather is nice. I don't ever want to be without it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid choice with a few minor quibbles, April 30, 2001

By	J. Grey (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Holy Bible Wide Margin Center-Column Reference Edition (Hardcover)

After you decide which Bible translation is for you, selecting a Bible becomes a matter of deciding what features are important to you. I wanted a wide-margin Bible so I could take copious notes. This Bible is a solid choice.

The positives:

--It is less expensive than its otherwise identical leatherbound counterpart.

--You can easily write in this Bible when it sits in your lap, such as while you're in a group Bible study or while you sit in your easy chair, because the cover is, well, hard. (When a leatherbound Bible is in your lap, the pages curve with your leg, making it hard to write legibly.)

--The paper feels substantial; you can turn pages easily.

The (minor) disappointments:

--This Bible's paper is *not quite* hardy enough for you to write with many liquid-ink pens. The ink almost bleeds through. Ballpoint ink works best, and I suspect that good-quality fine-point rollerball pens might work well, too.

--The printing, although not bad, could be crisper.

--The chosen typeface is fairly narrow, which might hinder legibility for some.

--The 1-inch margin runs along only three edges of the text; the top margin is near the top of the paper. This quibble is fairly minor, but I have already run into an instance where I would have appreciated the extra space for notes.
