Summary: Not by any stretch of the imagination
Review: I just received this Bible and am debating whether to return it or not. My main complaint is that the print in this otherwise lovely Bible is not large print, as advertised, by ANY stretch of the imagination. It is disappointingly small. I have several (that's an understatement) Bibles in various translations and in the last 15 years or so, have always purchased large print versions, and although the type size has not been uniform among them, not one of them has print as small as this one. The print is slightly larger than my older Bibles (from when larger print was not an issue), but not by very much.However, this Bible is very slim and lightweight, has a lovely genuine leather cover, clear print, and does meet my primary need for it. My pastor mostly uses NKJV, so I wanted an easy to carry Bible to take to church and follow along in the same translation. I think it will fill that slot nicely and the bright lighting in our church should make it easier to read. I'll try it out in Bible study tonight and see how it works for me. I am pleased with the overall size of this Bible. It even slips easily into several of my larger purses. I'll probably keep it, as I'm sure I would have to purchase a much larger and heavier Bible to get the size print I had really hoped for.

Summary: pseudo "large" print and poor maps, but a great Bible
Review: it's true that it is a bit of an overstatement to call the text "large print". Technically, the print is larger than a typical award Bible, but it is hardly large. however, i bought my copy in a brick-and-mortar store, so i knew ahead of time the actual print size, and it's quite large enough for me. but if you are considering this Bible for an elderly person, for example, because of the "large" print, don't bother. it's not large enough to be really helpful.
the only aspect of this Bible i'm dissatisfied with is the maps. they are not very detailed, and there is no map index. after using this Bible for over 5 years, i can say this is the one factor that continues to disappoint me.
having said that, it is a beautiful book that feels sooooo nice in the hands. it is well-constructed and has held its attractiveness admirably, though i am quite gentle with it. if you are shopping for a "regular" Bible with no more features than cross references, a generous concordance, and a few maps, you will not do better than this version.

Review: One of the most beautiful bibles on the market

Summary: Comfortable reading
Review: The NKJ version is very readable as it relates to style and text size. The ultra thin packaging makes it convenient to carry. Durable binding. I have many bibles and this is probably my favorite. I am purchasing it for the second time.

Summary: Excellent translation and a quality edition from B&H
Review: The Word of God is priceless; and this bible is lovely (in burgundy leather)and lightweight. That said, I was very disappointed in the size of the type. I have seen "large print" typeface in other Bibles, and this is not it.

Summary: "Large Print"?
Review: This volume is represented as being "large print." It is written in a 10 pica font, which is smaller than anything appearing on this web page. To describe this volume as being "large print" is a disappointing misrepresentation!
