Book Reviews of King James Giant Print Reference Bible
Book Review: Excellent value
Summary: 5 Stars
First let me say that the product description is incorrect. The edition appears to be 1976 and it is bound in a high-quality grained black leatherette, not burgundy leather.
In all other respects, the binding is heritage quality. It will lie flat on any page, and the detailing is meticulous: gold leaf on the outside of the pages, gold braid ornamentation on the inside edges of the covers, burgundy and gold heavy thread at the top and bottom of the spine stitching.
The paper and ink are top quality. I could not believe this was a full large-print bible when I picked it up. It is light and only 1.5 inches thick, so you can read it while holding it in your hand. But although the pages are thin, you can barely see the print on the converse of a printed page (although you can see through empty pages to the next page). The printing is crisp and clear, and will not smudge. There is a ribbon attached to the binding to be used as a bookmark
The typeface is a traditional serif proportional font, either medium or bold. Notes (cross-references, alternate meanings, etc.) are done in smaller light sans serif typeface at the end of each verse. Each verse is indented, but there is a symbol to show the original paragraphs. The pull weight of the pages is very high. (I.e. the pages can't be pulled out and should not fall out, very important in a flat-lying book.)
I have found this Bible easy to read in every respect. There are three nice extras: a basic concordence at the back, four thick coated double-side pages of traditional family Bible recording matters (marriage, children, deaths etc.)in the very front, and four similar pages of excellent maps at the very back.
I don't *need* large print, but it really increases reading comfort and saves eyestrain for anyone without perfect vision. I have had it for 6 months and so far it appears to be durable -- mine looks like new, with no torn pages, smudges, or scratches.
Actually, even if you would be happy with a hard-bound book volume or paperback, you might be happier with this one, due to its durability, its ability to lie flat, and its light weight. You certainly won't get a leather-bound Bible of this general quality for @ $14 (in fact, you aren;t going to get a fine leather binding for $14 no matter what's inside).
In summary, this Bible is a phenomenal value if you want a top-quality, well-made Bible to read frequently, which looks like a traditional, expensive Bible.
