Easy to read typeface, good space between sentences and good margin, so your eyes do not have to try to sort through too much at once. Also ideal size and weight to fit in my front pocket -- I carry it with me all the time.
Only negative is the cover (full leather) wrinkles significantly, almost sharply at the binding when you open it fully. Hopefully this will improve with time as it softens.

The quality of this new testament is very good. the quality leather and binding have held up quite nicely. The wording of this translation is refreshing and easy to remember. The only problem that I have found is some of the text seems to be somewhat watered down from the kjv. ovrerall I am very pleased.

This is a really nice New Testament. It is the size of an index card and is easily carried anywhere. You can carry it in your pocket and read it, when you get stuck in traffic jams, or anywhere where you have to wait. I like that the words of Christ are in red. It is easy to read even for those of us who wear bifocals.

I am well pleased with this product. While traditionally a KJV fan, I find the ESV refreshing at times when a quick read is needed. The Testament snuggly fits into my shirt pocket, and makes a nice everday carry survival manual.

The nicest New Testament I've ever seen! The genuine leather is very high quality with a very nice look and feel. The black ribbon marker is a nice touch and the 7 point font is larger than most NT's so no worries about eye strain here. This one will go with me everywhere so I can enjoy and search the Holy Scriptures anytime and anywhere. You can certainly expect more quality than you pay for.

Besides this being a great translation, this is a great pocket NT. Its print is larger than some due to omission of extra features. Its font is very readable. My only complaint is the binding fell apart after only one year of moderate use. For the cost of a larger edition, it should be a little higher quality, like that of Nelson's bibles.

I simply love this pocket New Testament. It fits easily in my front pants pocket, so I'm able to carry it with me everywhere I go. The leather feels great, and the text size is just right, that is, a better type could not be expected in a Bible this small. A nice surprise with this edition is though the NT text is double column, the Psalms and Proverbs are in a single column format for even greater readability. Christ's words in red is a favorite feature of mine, and it was a delight to find that in this NT too. All around, a nice Bible I look forward to using many, many times.
