KJV Holy Bible, Mini Pocket Size, Faux Leather Red Letter Edition - Ribbon Marker, King James Version, Pink/Saddle Tan, Zipper Closure

This Bible is far nicer than I thought it was going to be. I bought it because I wanted to have a small zipper bible to take with me in my backpack when I go for bike rides. I didn’t want it to be too ‘good’ in case it got wet or dirty. Cheap and cheerful was the idea. But it’s very nice indeed. The text is obviously quite small but the print quality is high and the letters are very, very clear, so it’s not difficult to read: if you do wear reading glasses you’ll definitely need them, but if you don’t, you won’t need a magnifying glass either. The words of Christ are in red, including Revelation. The cover looks a bit nasty in the pictures but in real life it’s nice - it’s very pliable and the cover has a nice soft, durable feel to it. The zip action is clean and easy, and the zipper doesn’t stick or get caught on the ribbon. As one might expect, it doesn’t exactly lie flat, but the binding is not ‘tight’ so it’s really basically effortless to keep it fully open with one finger. The binding is sewn in a large number of low page-count signatures, so it doesn’t have that cheap ‘children’s book’ feel where the signatures have too many pages each. The paper is nice and smooth to the touch, a soft white that is not as glaring as, say, printer paper, and has very low show-through, so the text is very clear. There is an index of topics (one with what to read when you are looking for guidance on various themes, and one with what to read when you feel various feelings, like bored, tempted, lonely etc.), and there’s a check-box reading list to get through the Bible in a year. No maps, no introduction, none of the other usual stuff you get with Bibles. I would mention as well that the book itself is surprisingly light. I have a Cambridge leather zipper bible of exactly the same size, and it’s noticeably heavier (the present one is less of a bijou item though…). Overall I would describe it as a book which feels very nice to hold in the hand, which I expect to last a long time, and which gives that nice feeling of having bought something which is really worth owning while not being expensive. It’s published in South Africa and printed in China, and comes in a glossy wrap-around band for packaging. Thoughtfully designed and well made. A bargain.

Perfect in every way.

A pocket Bible can be very useful for occasional use and this one with a protective zip is easy to keep smart . The size results in the smallest readable type which could be too small for some. If you’re able to read it there is nothing to dislike. The decorative cover is most attractive.

Unbelievable quality!!! Wow, very Pleased to Say the least! Thank you. Praise to the Most High, and always Giving Thanks to Christ ❤️

Beautifully made

I wanted a small bible that was easy to carry when I was not at home. Could get it on line, yes, but I like turning the pages, feeling the book in my hands. Good old King James text, but he warned, you may need to also carry a magnifying glass. The words are tiny...well, they would be in such a small edition. The book looks well made. I like it, glad I bought it. Recommended.

Feels like a more expensive book, fits perfectly in my hands and doesn't feel heavy when reading for my usual hour. Great buy

It's very well packaged and good value for money.
