Perfect Purse Size
Please ignore my nails, I know they look rough- it was cheap polish! I bought this because my daily study bible is quite large and expensive(quest study bible). I don’t like taking it with me to work or on errands because I don’t want to risk ruining or losing it. This NASB is perfect size to fit in your purse, I have a tote bag I use for work and errands and this fits perfectly. The print is large enough that I’m not straining my eyes(I DO have bad eyesight and require Rx glasses lol). The pages aren’t too delicate, I haven’t ripped any and they don’t ghost the text like some bibles. I used mini tabs and they fit the Bible well. It has color maps in the back. I love the price point because it’s cheap enough I can give it away if I run into someone in need and be able to replace it quickly. You can’t go wrong with this Bible!

Clergy approved
First new Bible I've bought in several years and I'm ordained! It's a great size to carry in a purse to read in my hotel room on trips and I use it for research. Not too big and not too small. I love the color and the textured stamp. It's cute. I know some might not think a Bible should be "cute", but why not appreciate beauty where it exists?

Reliable version, easy to read!
This is a wonderful little Bible. It is complete with topical index, cross references and maps. The type is definitely big enough with the dark(not dark gray) black ink, that if you have decent eye sight or use readers. However, if you have very poor eyesight, it probably isn’t the size you’ll need.

Super Portable
This was a gift for a dear friend of mine. I thought it would have been bigger, but the size is perfect for a purse or at work on a desk. She loved it. It is great when you just want to read the word, no matter where you are. Buy this, you will not regret it.

Pastor aproved!
This is a great little ellagant bible. It is an olive drab in color. It has an olive branch on the cover which is what the dove brought back to Noah to tell him there was land. What a nice little emblem to use! The pages are gilded with gold. The cover has a leather feel.I wanted a compact bible I really like the size. I had gotten a compact NIV a couple of months before at a store and the print was tiny, no red letters, totally not the version my pastor reads from. So, I kept looking. I noticed my pastor had a compact black NASB. I started looking for an NASB, went on Amazon. I have come to learn my pastor has the 1995 edition. This is the 2020 edition, but it is 99.8% word for word what he reads off as I fallow along. I would try to fallow in NIV, NRSV and would get lost.This bible is wonderful! The "large print" isn't huge, but it is larger than the compact NIV I had, which now resides in my center console of my pickup. It is larger print than the little new testaments the Gideons hand out. I don't feel that I have to be an insect to read it. It is large for the compact size. Very easy and pleasant to read. It comes with a tagboard sheeth showing features. It slides right off. It has a presentation page so you can give it as a gift. I like this translation and I would disregard all bad reviews.My pastor aproved! He is even wanting to get one himself. He said it's awesome and asked me where I got it. I told him I'd send link he said please do! He really liked it. He flipped through it and was really excited about the decent sized print. He said he would like to teach out of the 2020 edition, but NASB is harder to find in compact size. He loved it too.*Update: A little disappointment I found one wrinkled misprinted page in my whole bible. It is still readable just a little unpleasant. Just a minor flaw. Makes me want to lower to four stars. You can see in the last photo here. The other side of this page is flawless. I wonder how the publisher didn't catch this in their quality check. Oh well, I still love this little bible. It is beautiful and flawless the rest of the way through. I'm sure yours will be too if you order one of these. This bible is going to get heavily used the rest of my life anyways. Chances are a lot worse could happen to it.*Update: I'm not LDS, but I had the local LDS bookstore inscribe my name on my new Bible and they said the imitation leather was really nice to pick up the inscribing. Looks nice.

Know What You Want
I give this NASB a 5-STAR RATING, and I address some 1-star reviews. I find it to be complete and it is in more understandable modern English.1. Some reviews state the print is too small. This is a complete Holy Bible: page size is 3 1/2 x 6 inches, nominal. The print size is about 8-point (I've measures it). "Small" or "Large" print is relative. To me, it is Large print when I consider this volume is such a compact Bible. To me, the print is appropriate for a complete Bible of this size.2. Some reviews have noted there are some verses missing (e.g., Matthew 17:21). (Actually, there are other verses, and words, which are not included in the main text). Many other Bibles contain these verses in [brackets] noting these verses are not found in some older/earlier manuscripts, which raises questions about the verses appearing later in newer manuscripts (probably for clarification) . This publisher HAS put these verses at the bottom of the page, kind of a footnote, indicating their absence in older mss. I believe this is why they are not in the main text; I do not find them to be missing.3. I have an older complete Bible (Cambridge, KJV); it's less than 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches with about 5 point print. To me, it's "small" print.For me, it (NASB) is an excellent investment. I do need reading glasses to read it, but I'm pushing 80. Again, this is a 5-star rating.

Super Tiny, Super Cute, Requires Super Patience!
It’s the Bible so duh, 5 stars. It’s super tiny and the words are tight, but I absolutely love this Bible. I can take it with me everywhere I go. Only downside is that every other page is stuck together, but a fruit of the Spirit is patience! I love this and I think everyone should have one.
