“I’m struck by the sweet, old-fashioned look of this Bible. Like a classic book, the cover is cloth-covered board. It’s smaller than a “regular” Bible (see pictures- I added a quarter for perspective). The smaller size keeps the weight down, but look at the pictures to be certain the print is not too small for your comfort.” -Amazon Re

This new edition is perfect for those seeking a large-print Bible with plenty of space for notes, prayers, reflections, or artwork.
“The pages are a nice cream color and perhaps a bit thicker than regular Bible pages. I love that the font size is bigger and there is good space in the margins to take notes, draw, etc. I used regular Crayola colored pencils on the pages for my Good Morning Girls study and I would say they leave a slight shadow on the back side of the page, but nothing that makes the Bible illegible or hard to read.” – Amazon Review

“Amazon USA you’re amazing, got here to UK in just 4 days and I’m thrilled with it, it has got to be the most beautiful bible I own, the photographs really do not do it justice. Although I got it originally for journaling I’m not sure I would actually want to write in it because it’s so lovely but we shall see. It’s lovely to handle and the font is clear and easily readable. The pages are thicker than normal bible paper and the single column means the margins are large enough to write your own notes in. Altogether a brilliant bible and one I’m sure I will treasure for ever.” – Amazon Review
