a magnificent travel Bible - By: Alejandra Vernon, 17 Mar 2004 
I have never seen a better compact Bible than this one. Despite the smalll print, it is clear & readable; I set it side by side with six others of comparable size, & this was the only one that I could comfortably read.
The NKJV translation is superb, keeping much of the exquisite beauty of the original, but adding clarity in its use of modern day language.
Psalm 138:3
NKJV:
"In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul"
KJV:
"In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, & strengthenedst me with strength in my soul".
The words of Jesus are in red, it includes center-column references & translation notes, a 96 page concordance, & 9 maps. The pages are edged in gold, there is a ribbon marker, & the cover is bonded leather. What I especiallly like is the flap, that gives me just enough room to clip a pen on the inside, & goes over the cover to snap shut, protecting the pages from damage while in my purse.
The first Bible I ever purchased was published by Nelson, & after over twenty years of use is still in one piece; this edition seems to be constructed with a similar level of quality, so I have high hopes for its durability.
I'm not a "stuff & things" person, but this little Bible is something I own that I truly delight in, definitely qualifying as a Top Ten purchase.
COMPACT REFERENCE BIBLE: NEW KING JAMES VERSION (HARDCOVER) - By: , 29 Jul 2001 I found this version of the Bible extremely easy to understand. My Bible also fits easily in my handbag, when I go to church. I have also found the Concordance & the maps very useful.
neat compact easy to use information packed Bible - By: , 03 Nov 1997 this bible is my favourite bible i own, it's smalll & easy to carry to church services, it has a flap which closes on the front, a ribbon to find your place, very helpful cross-references & footnotes in the center margin, book, chapter & verse nos. at top of each bible text page, maps at the back, mini concordance, helpful Preface & "How to use this reference Bible" section, words of Christ in red. But, would like to see an extra page or two in the mini concordance, & map dimensions also in metric (maybe one day in a later edition!) And, being alll in modern english, makes the Bible easy to understand & read.-
