ESV Large Print Value Thinline Bible (TruTone, Black), soft imitation leather

Very nice Bible for the money. Our fellowship uses it as a gift for new members. It has a nice presentation page. Nice size type and good cover.

I needed a new Bible and so I chose this ESV product because of the attractive cover and the fact that all the text is black letter. I am disappointed in this particular edition for two reasons. First, while the printing itself is fine, the paper is such that the text from the other side of the page shows through somewhat, making what I am trying to read appear blurry. Secondly, the footnotes included in this edition are very selective, omitting manuscript differences and different translation options. They seem very repetitive and refer to issues already addressed in the preface to the translation, especially the use of "brothers" for men and women and the word "slave/servant/bondservant." There are other printings of the ESV that include more helpful footnotes. I am seriously considering returning this Bible.

A very attractive bible, easy to read print, but the ink smells really bad. It smells like chemicals, maybe kind of like tires and it makes my nose tickle. I would not have purchased this if I had seen it in a store. I hope the smell goes away.

This bible is NOT large print. Probably the smallest print I have ever seen in a bible.

For those of us that do not speak King James English and would like a better understanding this may be the translation for you. I will caution you, some of the verse will read differently. I didn't make a note of it, but I did notice one or two as our pastor was reading from his Bible that mine left out two whole sentences. The Bible is a very easy to read.
