Preferred to have a small NASB that was smaller than my study bible. It is a little "thicker" than I'd prefer compared to other sizes, but the font is a little larger and there is somewhat of a margin that I prefer to have. Great deal for my needs...

I found the bible to be as advertised. I read from it daily,
and carry it with me when calling on folks in need of a prayer. The font and print size are just right even for these old eyes. The NASB version is the most accurate version I
own, and I read and research from five versions. The size of the bible is just right for someone whose minstry takes them many places in the course of their day. Mike

I have had this Bible for over 7 years. This is the best compact Bible I have ever owned, and I have owned several. The words are small naturally because it is compact, but they are large compared to all other compact Bibles. It opens flat so you can lay it down and it will stay open. The binding is holding up in spite of much use. This Bible has full center column refs which is rare anymore for compact Bibles. Plus this is the most accurate translation hands down. It is very handy for taking it on the go instead of hauling a big study Bible around. I would replace this Bible immediately if anything ever happened to it. Kid you not.

This is one of the neatest little bibles you will come across! Exceptionally well composed and arranged. Of a larger width, or thickness, than many compacts, it compensates by having a reduced hieght and breadth; therefore "chunky". Very nice type, with minimal see- through; paragraph format with headings. And the bonded leather feels fine. Well done. - John G. Lewis

I haven't gotten a chance to use this Bible yet but I think I am really going to like it because it is so compactable yet has alot of study tools, I mostly like it because of it's size.

It's exactly what I wanted and expected. This was meant as a travel Bible, not my evryday. Print is a little small, but it's going to be in a compact Bible. Nice size bible, nicely bound.

Best Small Bible I've seen, period!! The Type is small, but Very Very Very Black(About time!). Because of this the type stands out. I believe its better than either 7 or 8, or even 9 point types in muddy gray. The references, outlines and book intros are the same as in the big Zondervan 6x9 Classic NASB edition(I also have), which are a lot of references to stick into a little bible, but they did it and it looks and feels good. It is a little thicker than most compact or pocket bibles, but so what! (It does fit in my coat or even back pocket!!)

Pros: portable size, BUTTON FLAP, nice literal translation, EXCELLENT font and font size meaning that it is well readable, and a large number of cross references.Cons: the button flap easily gets in the way when reading, the construction is not perfect, and it is not available in genuine leather.The button flap problem can be be solved by just putting it behind all the pages or putting your thumb in the way. The major lack is the build and cover. All in all however I think the pros far outweigh the cons. The print size and font is awesome. I can't believe the bible is this small and has this many references and is so READABLE in it's type! I like the NASB translation and it has lots of cool textual notes. The ESV publishers should learn much from this edition!I would love to see a compact reference bible just like this using the ESV or NASB with zipper and genuine leather!

This Bible is everything they say it is. The text is clear and easy to read, and the size of the Bible makes it very easy to travel around with it. It is like having a full sized Bible with all the extra features in it.

I like the compactness of this Bible very much, but was disappointed to find that the NASB has gone the way of most other Bibles and moved the verse numbers from the outside of the colunm to starting the verse at the end of the verse before it wherever it might end.

Finally a compact reference Bible with the NASB text! The key here is reference. Most smaller versions of the NASB do not have cross references, this one does. And it's not a study Bible full of footnotes and editors doctrines. This edition is handy, and easy to carry around. It has clear book introductions as well as color maps and concordance. Great for personal study anytime, anywhere allowing you to discover God with the most literal of all translations. No added stuff to confuse your understanding of the scripture. Too bad it only comes in a bonded leather edition, this will be one I'll certainly wear out!
