Good basic "work" Bible5
I have a couple of deluxe-edition Bibles given to me as confirmation gifts that see little use. As a compulsive underliner and annotator, I just can't bring myself to vandalize a leather-bound Bible with gilded parchment pages. This "pulp fiction" production of the King James translation, on the other hand, is just the ticket to guilt-free consumption for those of us who take "active" reading to the extreme. It's cheap, disposable and easily replaceable; it adds very little weight, takes even less space in my book bag. As for the translation, the King James is the only way to go for those of us take literature seriously and prize metaphor as the analog for apprehension of the non-verbal. For "accuracy" of translation, I'm still partial to the Revised Standard (New Revised, if need be) but have yet to find a working man's copy as serviceable as this one. (Warning: the print is quite petite.)

Bare-bones and No Nonsense3
A very good deal, although the print is smaller than I like and I came across the substitution "a" for "an" in front of h words; "an helpmate" is changed to "a helpmate" and so forth. (I suppose it doesn't matter one way or the other but the language flows better the former way and is more traditional. It also makes me wonder what else they might have changed, but oh well.) For those like a bare-bones bible with no extraneous commentary/glossary/etc. (which is the main reason I got it besides price) it's not half bad, although there are better quality King James Version printings out there and unless you're buying bibles in bulk to pass out to people you probably might as well spend the extra eight or nine dollars to get quality.

Too small letters 6 or 7 points !!1
A bible is a bible except:

1. The letter size is so tiny (Times Roman 6 or 7 points) that you need a reading glasses. My other bible bought at amazon was in giant letter size, 16 points. So obviously you should check the letter size first before placing an order.


2. In paperback form; the pages are easy to tear.
If you want to buy it for someone else like a convert, I would recommend a more *readable* and durable copy.


3. The delivery time was decent; the book condition was new as in seller's comments.
