KJV Study Bible, Large Print, Hardcover, Red Letter Edition: Second Edition

A Truly Fine Book, And A Excellent Study Bible!: This Bible Is Truly A Good Item Very Underrated And Serves Its Purpose Well!. I will try and keep this review brief as one could write a really long review of this but I'll try to stick to the main points First off i didn't have all the dings, bleed-overs, or torn covers that others reported. My Bible was packed very well, arrived in splendid condition and is a quality item and i will humbly take off my hat both to the Publisher and to Amazon for putting this book out at this price given the high costs of things etc!.... Excepting one teeny minor thing I really cannot think of anything against this book, Tho one flyleaf page did have a tiny crease in it, But I didn't think that unusual as i simply used some patience and took a pen and simply reset the page across the pen until the crease was no longer visible!. An old but good trick which I remembered from working in Publishing Plants along with also being a 'Published Author' in my own right!,..... Frankly I refuse to recommend one version against the other as in my view the best Bible is the one you read all the time as otherwise you cannot learn nor profit by them!. Now the main feature of this particular Bible is that i really like the way the Nelson Bible takes Complicated Facts and some rather involved doctrinal matters and just explains everything in a plain and simple way, as in that regard this version is a real jewel beyond price. MY ADVICE: SALTYS for Children!. MOODY'S BIBLE for new Students!. SCHOFIELDS for General Levels readers!. NELSONS STUDY BIBLE for Doctrinal and Advanced or College Level Readers!. Yes i can read without glasses but I bought the large print version for my friends who cant if they should like to borrow it, yet i admit I rather like the print size as its not too Large nor not too Small either. For me the hardest thing to get use to were the somewhat thinner pages but it does keep the weight down as this book has both Old and New Testaments so it is a large book but thankfully not prohibitively so!. To Close I think it a very excellent Bible and one the reader can easily learn from as i am already studying mine with considerable interest and enjoyment!. Kudos to Amazon for having this available!. Kudos to the Sellers for keeping the cost down!..... Seriously do buy this you wont be sorry!. Indiana ED

My words that I write here cannot (truly) express the full picture of this beautiful Bible. You have to personally hold it, experience its "feel" in your hand (weight, flex, etc.) and look through its pages to truly appreciate its beauty and the quality of its construction throughout. The Nelson KJV (study) Bible has long been recognized as perhaps the "true leader" in study Bibles because of the clear and concise notes and references that it provides the reader, and even if you "know" the Bible I am sure that there are times that checking these notes is rewarding and enlightening (they are for me personally at least). I was in graphics/printing/publishing for my entire career and worked in some of the best high-end-quality publishing firms and have personally worked on and/or visually seen thousands of books in their production processes so I know instantly when handling or looking through or "at" a book just what went into it and whether or not it really is worth its price and worth having at your reach. This Bible is truly very well constructed and from high quality materials (and you can truly trust me on this). For myself personally, if I have my choice, I will never purchase a "hard cover" edition of a Bible for two very clear reasons (to me). The first is that because of its size and weight of all of its pages a hard cover copy is much heavier, also harder to handle and balance and hold because of the awkwardness of its rigidity created by the board covers. Also, the weight of the pages, through frequent handling and use, create very heavy stress on the binding and the volume itself becomes loose and "sloppy" at its joining the covers because the flyleaves at the front and back that hold it in the covers break down and will frequently tear the book from its covers. A flexible cover allows the entire book to take the stress of handling, etc. It's like a law of nature...flexible content attached to a rigid item (cover) something has to give, and the weakest point is the flyleaf, which is the only thing holding all that flexible weight in that rigid cover. Because the cover flexes the stress from the book is able to cross over or spread to the cover also and frequent handling/use will not do damage to the binding and weaken the book's attachment to the cover.} The paper used in this Bible is very high quality, very thin (which creates a lighter book for handling), brilliant warm white (easier on the eye), and for its thin-ness has No show-through (from the print on the other side of the page) and has a nice smooth finish making it pleasing to the touch. The type-face is 11pt and very clear and easy to read.... therefore you will have No trouble reading this. Also, while Christ's words are in color, the publisher has chosen to use a much more suitable sienna brown ink instead of the usual "shocking" red used in most Bibles. I really found this to be a wonderful touch. The notes, maps, concordance, etc., are all very clear and concise, and truly helpful to the reader when needed add to the useful value here. The bonded leather cover is tough, durable, and just "feels right" to your fingers and in your hands and its construction is first-class high quality. A final lovely touch (to me) is the silver embossing of "Holy Bible" alone on the front cover, repeated on the spine with added "The King James Study Bible second edition" with two beautiful flourishes and also the logo alone for the Thomas Nelson publishing company which just keeps the whole spine clean and un-cluttered looking. The Final Finishing Touch to the beauty of this Bible is the silver-edged pages, instead of the usual gold.... just so neat and clean-looking against the (in my case) black cover. Perhaps I personally see this silver/black combination as more masculine or something, I really don't know, all I know is that I find it most pleasing to my eye. One last note to you here is that I have recently donated my other KJV Bibles and, for me, "this is it...the choice for me"...I'm betting that you will also be this satisfied yourself after you have seen and have felt this lovely Bible in your own hands! {As a final note, I hope this does not come across as a "commercial"..... I am not writing this here to "sell Bibles", but I am wanting to convey to you just how well produced and finished this Bible is, and to express how pleased that I think you will also be once you have seen it, read some of it, and held it for yourself.

Awesome giant print with very helpful footnotes for Bible Study

decent for the price good for marking up and really delving into love big writing kind of wished it had a little more room for notes but it's fine. it was higher quality than i thought it would be for the price

Good quality. Print is easy to read. Lots of study helps.

É sempre um prazer muito grande (re)ler a KJV, e nesta Study Bible da Thomas Nelson ela vem com belas e nitidas fotos e mapas; tamanho de fontes generosas, mesmo nas notas de estudo e referências cruzadas: tudo muito legivel e muito bem impresso; gostei muito deles terem colocado nas próprias referências cruzadas a tradução das palavras que ao longo do tempo mudaram de significado (para quem não conhece a KJV isso vai ajudar muito). Vale a pena ter também esta versão da KJV Study Bible Full Colour da Thomas Nelson, e a um preço bem acessível na versão capa dura, tanto que comprei também a versão para Kindle para ler durante viagens. Não gostei tanto do papel macio demais, que talvez por isso faça com que o Livro comece a "inchar", mas foi só colocar um elástico e o Livro fica legal. SUGESTÃO: Se você está pensando em comprar sua primeira KJV STUDY BIBLE, considere investir um pouquinho mais e comprar uma com capa de couro flexível e com as bordas das páginas em dourado, que darão maior durabilidade à encadernação.

The Word of God in all it's splendor. I would recommend the Holman KJV Study Bible. But this is good as well.

Just what I needed and the cross reference link system works perfectly. I can look up any personality and get a description. A massive amount of work has been put into this book. Congratulations and abundant blessings on those who persevered to bring this priceless gift to us. Thank you.

Quelques traces de colle d'assemblage au niveau de la tranchefile. Bonne impression, très lisible. Je n'ai pas trouvé une seule image sur internet pour cette version de la couverture autre que celle vue de face, alors j'en poste une.

Die Seiten sind dünn, bei einem Buch, welches so viele Seiten hat, lässt sich das freilich nicht ändern, sofern man es nicht nur am Tisch lesen will. Es gibt viele Anmerkungen, Verweise und auch Karten.
