NASB, Thinline Bible, Giant Print, Bonded Leather, Black, Red Letter, 1995 Text, Comfort Print Bonded Leather – Large Print, February 4, 2020

TL;DR: its a good bible for $20. Its not a premium bible, but is a good daily driver that looks great, reads great, and you won't be mad if you bang it up some.I bought this Bible to learn some things:1. First and foremost, I wanted to get some time with the NASB '95 translation.2. I wanted to try a verse-by-verse text format.3. I wanted to see how I like certain features like multiple ribbons, paste-down lining, bonded leather, red letter words of Christ, no cross references, etc.On the translation:I was raised in and now attend an ESV-dominant church. I have no issues with the ESV, I just didn't have an NASB and wanted to try it out. I'm a huge fan of the NASB now. I love the all caps for Old Testament excerpts in the New Testament. That is a really awesome feature that adds more to the depth of the reading.Now for this specific Bible:I didn't realize I had bought the giant print version. Lighter for scale in the photos. I guess my eyes aren't great, because now I have trouble reading anything smaller. I'm getting spoiled after a couple weeks of reading this text size. It is so big and easy to read.I like that the text isn't busy with footnotes, due to the excellent translating. I do miss my cross references though, but appreciate that this thinline edition doesn't have them, both for the sake of making it a smaller volume and for the fact that the text is not cluttered at all. You're just reading the Bible here. The words of Christ being in red is really cool too, it helps offset things.The bible stays open in Genesis and Revelation. After some time in the NT, I notice that some of the signatures are starting to become uneven. Probably has to do with stretching and breaking in of the spine as I read and handle it. I also bend and roll it in my hand and massage the bible while I carry it around, so that may have something to do with it. This is not my desk bible; it sees miles and terrain, and I don't go easy on it. I read about four chapters a day with my family as part of our M'Cheyne reading plan, and several chapters a day on my own on break at work. Not to mention following along on Sunday morning. Lots of page flipping.The gilding wears off a little as a glittery powder. I had the bible on the hood of my car waiting to carpool and the wind blew it open and creased some of the pages, putting a noticeable scratch in the gilding. Adds character I think.I really like the verse-by-verse formatting. I have yet to try a single column vbv, but the double column vbv reads very easily. There is some ghosting, especially in the poetic and prophetic books, but it's honestly way less than in my picture. My camera seems to enhance it. I haven't found it distracting at all, and I am really easily distracted by such things. I haven't torn any of the paper yet, despite much flipping.I do like having two ribbons. It makes it easier to keep up with more reading spots, though ideally it'd have five or six; four for the family reading, one for private reading, and one for whatever book the preacher is leading us through. Six ribbons in a bible isn't a thing though, so I'll just have to make due.I didn't buy this bible looking for a premium bible like Schuyler or even Zondervan's Premier line. I bought it as an intro to the NASB 95 and as a daily driver. It works quite well for what I wanted, and to top it all off, it cost me less than $25. Five stars.

Beautiful Bible, and it's in my preferred translation since I like to be as close to the Scriptures as possible. The print is in a nice size at 12 point, and it's full double column, which makes an easy read to go through the Bible quicker per page compared to other types. It comes with two satin bookmarks, one black and the other red, so you can mark your place in where you read, as well as another part of Bible where you get your prayers or devotions from. I have mine in the beginning of the Psalms, while the other is in my current place; it's convenient.While some people complain about not having all of the pages, my copy is fully intact. The cover is genuine black grainy leather, smooth, and lustrous with silvery-gold gilded pages on the edges when fully closed. It's quite beautiful and yet simple compared to these newer designs that are heavily engraved or illustrated on the covers.I watched some peoples' video reviews about pages sticking together and sounding disturbingly difficult to peel away when attempting to separate them, it's really not that bad as it may sound or even look. I have had many pages stuck together until I slowly and carefully separated them, and they do not stick anymore. Just be careful, as the pages are quite thin.This doesn't detract from my five star rating in the least, and it didn't bother me to separate the stuck together pages at all. All Scriptures for me at least are intact and Jesus's words are in red text, which is wonderful. I recommend this Bible if you like the features I described, and many others that I didn't because the product description is on the page if you'd like to see it yourselves.At this price, it's a steal, and I sincerely hope that everyone jumps at this deal if they like the NASB '95.

I like the size it's not to heavy to carry to Bible studies and the fact that they translate from original text to Greek, so I know I have close to the original meaning

I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase of this Bible. I bought this for my kids. It has quickly become an invaluable resource for us in our daily life. The print quality is exceptional; the letters are not only beautifully designed but also printed with such clarity that they are easy to read, even in low light. The overall craftsmanship of the Bible is evident, and I appreciate the attention to detail that has gone into creating it. Every time we open it, there is the feeling of a sense of connection and inspiration.

I had been listening to the bible app mostly for awhile and recently wanted to switch back to reading the physical book. When I pulled out my bible I quickly realized I had gotten old and could not read the tiny letters anymore. Why get large print when there is giant print? This bible is set in 12pt font which is very comfortable for me to read with glasses (far-sighted). The layout and typesetting are great! I also love the leather cover. My previous bibles were fake leather and of course peeled all over the place. Just buy the giant print leather one!
