NRSV, Catholic Bible, Standard Personal Size, Leathersoft, Red, Comfort Print: Holy Bible

I didn't expect this bible's text block to be so excellent! Nice dark print, good line spacing, and line-matched text. Plenty of margin in the gutter - text doesn't roll into it. Decent quality paper with minimal ghosting of text. Very readable 9½-point print size NRSV Comfort Print by 2K/Denmark. All these qualities makes reading easy on the eyes. A supple synthetic cover is solidly attached to the text block with an attractively patterned card stock paste down liner. Well done gold gilding, perimeter stitched cover, and 4 raised spine hubs. The bible measures 8 7/8" by 5 3/4" by 1 1/4" on the outside. It is a very portable size for me. Even though it's listed as a "personal" size bible, it is not too small that it is difficult to read. That 9½-point print size reads more like a 10 point and jumps off that page at you. The binding is smyth-sewn with a nicely curved text block. The bible lies flat when open to any part of the text. The text block moves like butter. It's a pleasure to open, handle, and leaf through this bible. I did change the ribbons (you might have noticed them in the included pictures), but that is just me! I'm a ribbon nut and wanted longer ribbons. The ribbons that come with the bible are absolutely fine. I would recommend this bible whole-heartedly to anyone who wants a great NRSV-CE reader.

This Bible is absolutely beautiful. The print is just the right size. The cover is soft, flexible, and sturdy.

This Bible is beautiful. The print is easy to read and the right size. The cover is supple and sturdy.

I’ve bought three. They are beautiful and quality books.

My 10-year-old granddaughter said she needed a bible for her 5th-grade class. I went online and did extensive research regarding font size, readability, ease of use, size, etc. THIS IS A PERFECT BIBLE for a backpack, desk, and convenient home use. I am 83 years old, and have owned and bought many bibles throughout my many decades. As I am getting older, my heavy bibles which are well-used and well-loved, are going to be replaced by this lighter, very readable bible. I bought one for myself as well as for my 18-year-old grandson who had worn out his old bible. One more point: There is an extensive glossary of terms in the back which is incredibly helpful. Also, there are suggestions for ways to read the bible more prayerfully and effectively. For a small bible, this one carries a spiritual punch! Well done! Oh, yes, and a thank you to the Holy Spirit for guidance!

I love this Bible! Seems as if all hard cover bibles are hard to find and are pretty high in price but this one was a great price!!! Also it’s very easy to read as well since the font isn’t extremely small and you need about 3 binoculars to see as to what you are reading

This bible my younger son bought for himself to use while reading along with The Bible in a Year with Fr. Mike. I was worried the print would be too small but surprisedly the print was nicely big.

very nice Catholic Bible. It must have and does have the Imprimatur inside the Bible, making it accepted by the Catholic Church. Love the fact I don't need reading glasses to read it.

As advertised

Diese Bibel hat mich auf Anhieb begeistert. Sie ist wunderschön gestaltet und gleichzeitig einfach und verständlich geschrieben, sodass man sofort einen guten Zugang zu den Texten findet. Besonders hilfreich ist das Lexikon mit den erklärten Wörtern im hinteren Teil des Buches. Viele Begriffe werden darin leicht verständlich erklärt. Ein weiteres Highlight sind die Karten im Anhang, die einen besseren Überblick über die biblischen Orte geben. Dadurch werden viele Geschichten lebendiger und anschaulicher. Durch all diese Elemente habe ich noch mehr Freude am Lesen und entdecke (wieder) die Bibel jedes Mal ein Stückchen neu. Eine wirklich empfehlenswerte Ausgabe, die sowohl schön gestaltet als auch inhaltlich sehr zugänglich ist.

This Bible is made very well, the type is easy to read for my slight eye problem. It is covered in good binding and the pages are edged with gold colour. For the price I think you cannot go wrong, I am very please and feel that my Bible is now my best friend, as well as my guide and help.

Present for my father. Print is larger and very clear to read. Cover is lovely. Bible is not heavy either. Super happy with this Bible. If words of Christ were in red it would perfect!

Beautiful Bible that my daughter enjoys.
