KJV Mini Pocket Edition: Zippered Black

This Bible is far nicer than I thought it was going to be. I bought it because I wanted to have a small zipper bible to take with me in my backpack when I go for bike rides. I didn’t want it to be too ‘good’ in case it got wet or dirty. Cheap and cheerful was the idea. But it’s very nice indeed. The text is obviously quite small but the print quality is high and the letters are very, very clear, so it’s not difficult to read: if you do wear reading glasses you’ll definitely need them, but if you don’t, you won’t need a magnifying glass either. The words of Christ are in red, including Revelation. The cover looks a bit nasty in the pictures but in real life it’s nice - it’s very pliable and the cover has a nice soft, durable feel to it. The zip action is clean and easy, and the zipper doesn’t stick or get caught on the ribbon. As one might expect, it doesn’t exactly lie flat, but the binding is not ‘tight’ so it’s really basically effortless to keep it fully open with one finger. The binding is sewn in a large number of low page-count signatures, so it doesn’t have that cheap ‘children’s book’ feel where the signatures have too many pages each. The paper is nice and smooth to the touch, a soft white that is not as glaring as, say, printer paper, and has very low show-through, so the text is very clear. There is an index of topics (one with what to read when you are looking for guidance on various themes, and one with what to read when you feel various feelings, like bored, tempted, lonely etc.), and there’s a check-box reading list to get through the Bible in a year. No maps, no introduction, none of the other usual stuff you get with Bibles. I would mention as well that the book itself is surprisingly light. I have a Cambridge leather zipper bible of exactly the same size, and it’s noticeably heavier (the present one is less of a bijou item though…). Overall I would describe it as a book which feels very nice to hold in the hand, which I expect to last a long time, and which gives that nice feeling of having bought something which is really worth owning while not being expensive. It’s published in South Africa and printed in China, and comes in a glossy wrap-around band for packaging. Thoughtfully designed and well made. A bargain.

A pocket Bible can be very useful for occasional use and this one with a protective zip is easy to keep smart . The size results in the smallest readable type which could be too small for some. If you’re able to read it there is nothing to dislike. The decorative cover is most attractive.

Unbelievable quality!!! Wow, very Pleased to Say the least! Thank you. Praise to the Most High, and always Giving Thanks to Christ ❤️

Beautifully made

Feels like a more expensive book, fits perfectly in my hands and doesn't feel heavy when reading for my usual hour. Great buy

I wanted a small bible that was easy to carry when I was not at home. Could get it on line, yes, but I like turning the pages, feeling the book in my hands. Good old King James text, but he warned, you may need to also carry a magnifying glass. The words are tiny...well, they would be in such a small edition. The book looks well made. I like it, glad I bought it. Recommended.

It's very well packaged and good value for money.

Fits nicely in my back pocket, used to carry my psalms and hymns in my back pocket or jaclet since I was young but it was freying at the edges. I wasnt sure on the size and print if this would be a good alternative but it has been great. Print is small but clear and easy to read, being zipped it stops the pages being damaged. Size is nice its compact enough to fit in my back pocket of inside jacket woth no issues. Nice quality and feel, definately value for money. Silver text on the outside is rubbing off but its used daily and had expected it to do that with regular use and doesnt effect the use of the bible itself.

I've had this little pocket bible for awhile now and all I can say is I LOVE it.. it makes it fun to read and its just so convenient for me to take anywhere, traveling etc. I also love the color! So cute!

Molto agevole da portare, il carattere è necessariamente piccolo. Ottima spedizione

I love this version 😍😍😍😍

I bought this one as a curiosity, because of its small size. My eyesight is not very good, so I knew I would not be using this one for actual reading, although it is actually quite readable. I did not get the Burgundy color I ordered. My version is brown. I am okay with that. This bible is advertised as a lay-flat bible, but it definitely is not. It is much too small and light for that. It will nor lay-flat. The overall quality is nice. It features gilded edges and gold lettering on the cover. Also be aware that the pictures might mislead you. This is NOT the zipper version. Recommended.

Very small and easy to carry around. Trying my best to read it daily.
