I ordered this Bible from evangelical bible and have had it for about a month now. I was looking for a good quality NASB, because many of my cheap NASB Bibles are falling apart at the seams, especially the covers. I have a variety of translations, but I prefer NASB as I have always used it and I like the literal translation. Although I can read NT Greek (and a bit of Hebrew) as a seminary trained pastor, I still do most of my reading in English, and with NASB I at least have a good idea what the underlying Greek is saying. So I oredered this Bible hoping for a thin, easy to hold, large print “reader” Bible with a durable cover. Well, this Bible exceeded my expectations! Although I was hesitant about the blue cover, I actually like it. The buffalo hide is super soft and supple and lays flat. It has a beautiful grain texture. The ribbons are good, as is the paper. This is also a red letter edition, which is my preference because I am so used to red letter, and it is a nice subdued red. I have two issues with the Bible, which don’t detract from its quality. First, the margins are small, so I won’t be making many notes. This is unfortunate, because it precludes this from becoming my primary Bible. Second, there are no references. This is really too bad, because it means this is limited as a serious study tool. I am disappointed in the publisher for not including references, and in myself for not noticing in the description that is is not a reference Bible. Otherwise, this is a great Bible. The quality is outstanding. Leather is really impressive (and smells wonderful!). As long as you aren’t looking for a study Bible to make notes in, this thinline large print makes an excellent reader. Five stars.
