Format and Content

This is a small book. You can't tell from the description: you have to go down into the product details, and then get out a ruler to see how small 6.2 x 5.7 x 1.2 inches really is. It is very compact and portable, and the leather has a great feel, but be sure you have good eyes or good reading glasses for the small type, and nimble fingers for separating the thin pages.^M

DO NOT BUY IT!!!!

It might be a great bible if you can read it. I bought three of them to give to some friends who are under the age of 40. They had trouble reading the small print. There should be a disclaimer or an included magnifying glass.

Perfect size

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I purchased this Bible specifically for its small size (always check the dimensions before you buy.) It's perfect for travel and more convenient to curl up with in bed or on the couch than my bulkier KeyWord Study Bible (which I also would recommend, but more for in-depth study.) At first I wasn't sure that I liked the translation, until I read the introduction and realized that the author meant it to be a "story" Bible rather than a "study" Bible. It's especially useful in reading to my children, since the language catches their interest and understanding better even than the NIV. I will definitely be purchasing this convenient size for gifts in the future.
