The bible was much smaller than I anticipated and the print is very small. I'm glad I purchased this particular version however I should have gotten a larger size.

The print of the ESSV Compact Bible is so small it can NOT be read. It is a nice size but the type surely needs to be larger. It is of no use to anyone if the print is so small it can not be read.

I went from a full size NIV study bible to this bible and I love it. It is almost small enough to fit in your pocket but not so small you are discouraged to pick it up and study. I keep it in my laptop bag that I take almost anywhere. I will say the print is a little small so if you have bad eyes it might be hard on them but you can't beat it for the price. It is great to pull out of your bag on the fly and read the Word of God and share with others.

I keep this Bible in my purse so I always have one with me to read and for reference, but would not recommend it for a primary or study Bible simply because the size 6 font is very small. The cover color and style is perfect for men or women. I am very happy with my purchase as it fulfills my need very nicely.

The type/font is uncomfortably cramped and small for "old eyes"! This will NOT encourage me to take it along as a travel-companion. Disappointing.

This size Bible is great for carrying around or traveling, but I'm a senior and the small print is a challenge. The footnotes are even more difficult to read.
Young eyes--go for it. No complaint about the price on Wednesday bargain.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new Bible. This is how I THINK I've been translating the King James Version in my head for a while. I love the size of the Bible, the print is good for aging eyes. The paper used stands up to a highlighter and it was easy to "break in" so I could find scriptures on Sunday, two days after it was delivered. It will be easy to share with kids in class or VBS when you want them to understand for themselves what the Bible says on a subject or what a certain verse says. I wish I'd ordered it earlier.

I'm a younger Christian who has turned from the faith and is coming back to it realizing that she never really knew God in the first place. Deciding to get a readable, portable Bible, I found this was the perfect one for me.
The size is perfect for throwing into my purse, though the font might only be appropriate for younger eyes. I bring it everwhere. I'm liking the ESV translation, but the features of this particular Bible are what I feel makes it so great for new Christians or just anyone who wants to really get into reading their Bible. It has book introductions, reading plans, gives passages to read when you're sad, angry, etc. In the back there is an article about salvation and how it works. And it's so cheap!
Another selling point for me was the fact the the cover is not made of leather. I would recommend this for anyone who wants something compact and cheap, and especially for new believers or someone who really wants someting focuses with a reading plan.

I was needing a little bible to fit in my purse. But, I wanted the Old Testament as well. This little bible was the perfect fit. I have already used it while out and about. Great for witnessing too:)

The ESV Compact Bible is extremely well put together. I had never used this version of the bible until now. I love the literal translation taken from the Hebrew and Greek. The bible is full of useful "how-to's" and notes. I also like the bible because it is my favorite color and the Celtic cross celebrates my heritage.

It's a beautiful binding, and seems to be leather (even tho I know it isn't.) I like the translation, and I especially like the size & the "feel" of it. My only problem with it is that the print is too small for my aging eyes. I hope to be able to afford new glasses next year & then I should be able to read it. If not, I'll donate it to a prison ministry or something similar.

The print may be a little bit on the small side, but this Bible is all you could want for a quick reference. Mine got soaked in water and has baked in the sun to make it a little bit stiff, but after some bending and some time, this Bible is now flexible and it is perfect for on the go reading. This Bible went with me to Haiti and it travels every day with me through my college classes. It is durable, compact, lightweight, and just plain great for a quick inspiring read through God's Word.

Bought this for my 8 yr. old grandson - he wanted a blue Bible and really liked the design of this Bible, but the actual print seemed to us to be much smaller than the sample we viewed before buying which diminished his enthusiasm for this Bible.

Just what I needed. The size makes it easy to use more than one translation at a time while studying, the qualilty is good, love the cover design, the iinside layout is a bit differnt than other Bibles I own, so it's a refreshing look.
