NASB Giant Print Reference Bible (Black Genuine Leather)

a Beautifully made bible, Definitely worth the money
i've had this Bible now for a couple days and i absolutely Love it. it turned out Exactly as i hoped it would. the box it comes in did have a bit on a dent on one of the corners but, that's no big deal to me. the main thing is that the Bible itself is in the perfect condition i would expect it to be in for what i paid for it. Normally, i do prefer the Thumb-Indexed version of a Bible if i can get it but, this time i decided to go for the non-Thumb Indexed version because it was published by the Lockman Foundation themselves and i love the way the verse numbers are very bold and super easy to find. Also, i really love the fact that it is a Red Letter edition which is very uncommon for Lockman Foundation Bibles. i know the Red Letter feature is just a publisher's choice and that it has no real bearing on the text itself but, it's just a personal preference for me if i can get a Bible with it in there. i Highly recommend getting this Bible, it is Beautifully well made, not even so much as a wrinkled page anywhere in it. i will say, though, the pages are a bit on the thin side so, i would definitely be careful when turning them and that also means there's a bit of ghosting wherever the linematched text isn't at on the page but, it's not too bad. i also love the Giant Print in this Bible. it makes reading So much easier and a lot more enjoyable. one other thing i really like is the 2020 text itself. i think it's very interesting how it reads a bit different than what i'm used to with the 1995 edition of the NASB and Definitely different from the 1977 NASB. All in all, i would give this Bible a 10+ star rating. if you can afford it, then you should get it.

Good Value, Giant Print NASB in Black Genuine leather
Print is large enough for my blurry old vision. The NASB is one of my two favorite translations (other is ESV), and everyone who wants to study the bible ought to have one, imo. For reading, I usually reach for the ESV, and it is good to have both, along with that old KJV. I also use some paraphrases and newer translations like NKJV, NRSV, and NLT for comparison with some passages. No translation can be perfect.You won't find perfection with the covering/binding, either. However, the genuine leather is nice, the binding is Smyth-sewn, and appearance very good. At under forty bucks, it is a very good value. Genuine leather is much more durable than the bonded type, so if the signatures are well sewn, it should stand up well to use. You don't get the finest bible paper, but that would be too expensive for the target market, anyway. So you get some bleed-through but it isn't so bad that I find it distracting.I haven't even looked for any helps - I have better in print and on PC. E-Sword's the champ. But I bought this one and a giant print ESV for reading in the garden where electronic screens wash out in bright light.I highly recommend the translation, and the bible itself for those who need the print size. It is rather large and heavy, but that's unavoidable for print this size. Best used by us seniors in the lap or on a table - your arms will tire if you have to hold it up very long while reading. Also, I think they did a good job of page lay-out. Very good value for money.

Recommend this Bible for home and church
What I like - the binding appears to be good quality, the type size (14) is large enough that I can read the Bible without reading glasses (I use 1.75 magnification reading glasses), the Times New Roman font is fine, the burgundy color cover is not too bright, the words of Christ are in red, each verse starts on a separate line, and the Bible is does not feel too heavy or too thick. That said, this is a Bible that I could take to church but this size of a Bible seems to big and heavy to carry around all day.What I do not like - there is slight bleed-through on the pages, although not enough to interfere with reading. I am not planning to use a highlighter on this Bible so I do not know how much bleed-through there would be with a highlighter. Also, I would have liked more references.Other notes - the Bible is "leathertex" which seems like a nice way to say "plastic."Also, the Bible is not indexed. I don' want indexing, although I recognize that many other persons prefer indexed Bible. I do not like indexing because the pages would be more difficult to turn if multiple semi-circles were cut on the edges of the pages for indexing.I like the 1977 version of the NASB better than the 1995, probably because that is what I am used to. That said, my favorite reading Bible would be the 1977 NASB with more references than this Bible has. Everything else could stay the same.

Excellent Translation; Perfect Sized Font for Seniors or Low-light, Two-column
This is the third copy of this Bible I've purchased. I wish they wouldn't use the term "Giant" print. When I bought my first one, I was worried that the font would be so huge that it would be single-column and I would be constantly turning pages to get through a chapter. Not so; it's two column and the font size is just perfect for an old guy like me whose vision isn't as sharp as it used to be. I can't think of a thing wrong with it. And the 1995 NASB translation is for serious Bible study, designed for accuracy rather than easy-to-read. You can't go wrong with this BIble. Cover is 6-3/4 x 9-1/2 inches; 1-3/4 inches thick.

A Very Excellent Bible
Binding has genuine full thickness leather. Print is large so you won’t ever need another bible. Paper is thick so you don’t see print on the other side of the paper.

GREAT BIBLE! GREAT PRICE! LOVE THE EXTRA-LARGE PRINT!!!
This is a great Bible for the price! I ordered the NASB Bible for a new Bible study class I just started. The teacher uses this version and suggested we download it on our phone. I was thrilled when I found this BIble at such an affordable price, as I prefer to flip the pages of a real Bible over reading on my phone.I love the EXTRA-LARGE (14 pt) print, it's very easy to read. The pages are very thin and the text bleeds through a bit, however I've gotten used to it & I hardly notice it. I like the hard cover and it seems to be bound well. I expect to enjoy this Bible for years. I would have given it 5 stars had the pages not been so see-through. All-in-all I am very pleased with this purchase & would definitely buy it again!

Excelente
A foto compara esta NASB95 com letra gigante (à direita) com a KJV Emerald Edition (Cambridge). Ela permite perceber que cada uma dessas duas edições venceu o problema da transparência do papel de uma forma diferente: a KJV usa uma impressão forte e nítida, e a NASB95 (fabricada na China) usa uma fonte bem grande (segundo os editores, tamanho 14). Apesar da aparência despojada, esta NASB95 apresenta referências no fim de cada versículo (achei ótima a solução), mapas e 146 páginas de concordância. Para quem gosta de traduções literais, é uma excelente opção. Pontos negativos: as "letras vermelhas" e a ausência dos livros "apócrifos". Mas essas decisões editoriais não tiram os méritos desta versão, que merece nota máxima.

Excellent Bible
This is an excellent Bible.Here are the pros: - The NASB has no peer when it comes to literal accuracy - Good quality genuine leather - Page-edge gold lining is thicker than average - Good paper quality (smooth white) with limited bleedthrough - True giant print (as advertised, no gimmicks) - The font is nice, strong and legible - Strong binding (sewn) - Thick reinforcement sheets inside front and back covers - The Bible box is extra thick and solid (for those who want to keep the box) - Cross references are conveniently placed in the text (at the end of the verse) - The price is excellent (for that price, you normally get bonded leather, not genuine leather)I really can't think of any cons except possibly that there is only one ribbon (I prefer only one ribbon but some people may prefer two). This is the best Bible I have ever owned in my life. (I have bought perhaps 35 Bibles over the past 30 years.)

It is great!
It is a very good book with good quality. There are two types of texts in red and black. The size of the texts are great too. But I myself prefer thicker pages. On the other hand if it was thick, it would be very heavy. In total it is great and I am enjoying reading it and think through. I’ve heard that this kind of a translation is very close to the hebrew version of the holy book, which is great as well.
