I purchased this little Bible a while back and I am very satisfied with it. There is one problem though, the print is incredibly small so consider purchasing a magnifying glass or you won't be able to read it.
I'd recommend this for anyone who loves history, especially church history.
This little beauty looks just like an original.

This is kind of an odd little Bible.  It is odd because of the cover color, material, and size of it.  The cover is smooth and shiny.  It reminds me of candy apple blue car paint.  The cover is smooth and shiny like the corfam oxford dress shoes the Marines wear.  You know the ones that never need polishing.  It is flexible, but the binding is stiff.  I think thats because its a tight binding.  The cover is lined with some blue paper.  On the spine of the Bible the word, Colormax is printed in silver colored letters, and then the logos on the top and bottom.  The pages are gilded with silver colored foil.  The size of the Bible puts it in between a true compact and a small reference Bible.  It is thicker than most of the compact Bibles.  This is good in the sense that the font can be larger, but it doesnt lend itself to going into a pocket or a bag as easy.  I would say it would be good in a lunch box, or backpack.  I think that was kind of the idea with this one.  The cover is obviously aimed at younger people.
This is a red letter edition of the HCSB text with 7 point font.  The printing is clear and legible and the pages are opaque enough to limit ghosting.  The read text is bold, but not distracting.  It is dual column paragraph format.  There are limited references at the bottom of the page this makes more of the page real estate available to font size.  This makes it easier to read.
This Bible was made in South Korea.  It seems the quality is better than many of the Chinese made Bibles.  There is one ribbon marker that matches the color scheme in silver.  This Bible was shipped in a white plastic bag.  The retail packaging is a multicolored card-paper sleeve.
The topical concordance and where to turn index were very limited, but helpful, especially for younger or less mature Christians.  You should already expect that when buying a compact.  The fact that it has any extra features is a bonus value in my mind.  It also includes, presentation page, eight maps, a, how to use the Bible page, plan of salvation, table of weights and measures, Titles of Jesus, and HCSB introduction and bullet notes.
After using this Bible for a while it loosened up a bit.  The cover still doesnt close right after bending it up a bunch.  You kind of have to wait for it or put something on it.  The good news is that it appears to be a sewn binding.  So regardless of if you like the cover or not the Bible should hold up pretty well.  I kind of got a kick out of bringing this little Bible to Church last Sunday and showing it around to some of the fellas.  For the price, under twenty dollars, this is a nifty little Bible.  I think it would make a great Bible for the young person in your life.  Inexpensive enough to not be worried about the rigors of youth, and decent build quality to hold up to some abuse.

I knew the print was going to be small but it's really too small for me and I'm not someone that usually complains about print size. I bought it for compact, convenience and to get back to the use of print versions of the bible but still find myself using my phone bible app. It is a beautifully made bible and perfect for purses and travel and to have a bible in hand (verses using my phone) for classes that's easy to carry but print and fine/thin pages are downside.

I just received this bible today.

1) Yes the text is small as is expected in a bible this size especially when space for a wide margin has to be created. However it is bold and clear which aids readability.

2) The paper is thin, but fairly translucent with far less bleed through than many other bibles I've seen at higher price points. It also feels like it has a fair cotton content which would aid in durability.

3) Size is excellent making this little gem very easy to carry.

4) I used a Pigma Micron pen to make a test on one page and it did seem to bleed through a little. It may be a good idea to make notes in this bible with mechanical pencils instead of liquid ink pens.

This bible was purchased as a test subject before ordering a case lot for evangelism uses. There are a FEW other compact wide margins available which are leather bound and much more expensive...too expensive to give out to new converts or the interested. So this little bible fills a niche very nicely.

Nice Bible, but the interesting articles in the back  have very small print that strains my eyes. I gave it to a friend

The standard size of this fine bible has commentaries at the bottom of each page. The letters have become to small for me to read as my eyes have weakened as I aged. I ordered the large print edition. It arrived but I found that the commentaries are still too small for comfortable reading. Secondly, the book is larger and heavier and as a result it is awkward for me to handle. This version is an excellent resource and I only wish it was easier for me to read.

I want to write a review for this little Bible, which is better than the on-line description, with a leather-like cover, gilt edges and a ribbon bookmark. It is about the size of a cell phone, but the print is very dark and easy to read. Besides that, we received it only a few days after ordering it. For those who love the poetry of the King James version and want a pocket-sized New Testament for reference, this version is absolutely ideal. Thank you.

This special edition is very nice for those of us that have a hard time reading the small print that most bibles are (6-8 point is the norm, occasionally a high quality one will be 9, this one is a size 10) written in .  If you use reading glasses already the print really enhances it; makes the writting very clear and legible, or if you are in between where you can read w/o glasses except for small stuff, then this book is perfect for you.  Don't let the GIANT intimidate you, it is large for a bible; but not large like its a coffee talble book print size.

The scriptures are written different than you're average bible.  While they still maintain all the verse numberings, they aren't seperated line by line.  Instead it is in more of a book-like format in terms of how it is printed.  I find it makes it very easy and faster to read, the bonded leather is good quality as well.  Only aspect that keeps in from a 5 (would rate it 4 1/2 if it were possible) is that the references are extremely small and hard to follow.  While the scripture words are a 10 size font, the references are like a 4 point.  If or when I actually do want to use the references to read more or find the other related materials, I go get my study bible instead of struggling to keep track of where I'm supposed to be looking/cross-referencing in the tiny little column in the middle that this version has.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Satisfied with my purchase. Be warned letters are small so if you have a hard time reading small print this bible might not be the one for you.

The MEV Bible is exactly as described. The imitation leather is very attractive, it is thin, the print is small,  but in good light I have no difficulty reading the words (including Jesus's words in red.) I gave it 4 stars only because of the tiny font. A giant print of this bible would be on my "wishlist" for sure. The shipping was super fast! Thanks!

I love this compact Bible.  The letters are large print so you can read it with ease, it can fit in your purse and it is a beautiful two tone Dark Brown/Light Brown. I use it for studying and it is full of hi-lites markings and underline markings.  Excellent quality.  Great KJV version.

This Bible is a great choice to take with you on the fly, for witnessing, and for travel. Despite its size, I can't get over how easy it is to read. I think the line spacing is what makes it possible. I would advise holding this Bible no further than 12" away from your face when trying to read. Beyond that, the words may begin to run together...at least that's my experience wearing corrective lenses.

Cute little bible, but I think the size of the font is too small. It's a very portable bible small in size, although for my brother, too easy to misplace. Also heads up is that the pages are very thin. The good thing is that it is very easy to understand, great for boys being introduced to the Bible.

I recomend this product to help study Gods word. The giant print is great for folks with some vision problems. I am a king james reader mainly, but NLT is a good study aid.
