Excellent size, excellent cover
Recently, I have been reading the ESV online exhaustively as I now regard it as 1 of my primary versions along with the 1995 updated edition of the New American Standard Bible. So I decided to buy this Bible as a compact edition to my full-size Bible. I hope to soon purchase the ESV New Inductive Study Bible as currently using the NASB edition & also the Kindle version of the ESV Study Bible.
Firstly, I noticed the supple feeling from the TruTone binding and also the fact that it is Smyth Sewn also. Another big favourite of mine is that it is it reads in paragraph - single column - format, which makes it easier for me to delve into properly. It is the perfect size to carry around with me as my NASB International Inductive Study Bible is heavier to carry around but that is my everyday full-size Bible.
Well done Crossway on providing such a great Bible, perfect fir lugging about

Handy little Bible
I love this little Bible, I take it every where I go even to an appointments and read while I am waiting. The print is large so I dont have to use my glasses.

Nice size bible. I got it inscribed with my daughter's name and she loved it. I wish it had read letters but most ESV bibles don't.

Excellent, except the font is too small!
This would be to me the "perfect" Bible format. I love the one column text. It's small enough to be easily carried. The cover is attractive.
But the font (7.5 point) is too small for my eyes. I tried it out for a a few days but it often gave me a headache trying to read it. And forget about the cross references! They're even smaller! I found I could not read it in my lap. If I held it up about chest level it wasn't too bad to read, but any lower than that caused my eyes to hurt.
My understanding is that Crossway is producing another version of the Personal Bibles that will use 8 point type, to be released in June 2013. The different in font size will add about 100 pages to the book. I have a Thinline version that uses 8 point type, and that one gives my eyes no problems. I guess I will just wait for June.
