ESV Large Print Personal Size Bible (TruTone, Mahogany)

Absolutely beautiful, handy Bible! I had the Thinline with bonded leather for 15 years and then the TruTone for a few years. But the thinline paper is like rice paper and there is bleed through, making it harder to read now that I’m in my 40s. I searched high and low and even looked at other versions but the ESV is absolutely the best translation and flows well. This ESV large print personal size is beautiful! The pages are crisper and whiter- and there is line matching so there’s no bleed through! The text is big enough that I’ll be able to read it the rest of my life and I feel like it’s aesthetically a classy, pleasing bible to hold and look at. I personally love the Tru Tone- it wears well and provides a wonderful value. I almost didn’t give this a chance due to the negative reviews but ignore them. This Bible is beautiful, a handy size, easy to flip through back and forth, nice crisp white paper and with a large font you can read easily at any age. Thank you Crossway, this is what I was looking for !

Love the large text, the Christ font in red and still a reasonable size. Superb product!

Nice binding and well made. Easy to read

This is my first personal Bible and it’s perfect. I’m 58 and use reading glasses and the font is perfect for me! I love the dark brown, the font size and the size of the book. I highly recommend this & truly love it. God bless you ✝️

I am very impressed with this Bible. For it not being made of a real leather, the two tone design on the front is made very well. It’s also a very pretty. The print in this Bible for being large print is quite large. Some of them claim to have large print and the text is tiny But this is great for my aging eyes. I am overly impressed on how this Bible looks and how it reads. The page thickness is good. You can see through it to see the next page, but not to the point where it’s distracting from what you’re reading. They’re a good thickness for a Bible pages. This is my new favorite Bible. I also love the ESV version. It holds true to the original text but written just enough to where we can understand well.

As I get older, my eyesight gets worse and I could not read my prior Bible as the font was an 8. This Bible is perfect and I can easily read it.

Nice, good size print

Likes: The faux leather cover is very nice, it has more of a red color to it than I was expecting but I really like how it looks. The font is more of a giant size, much larger than I thought it would be but it is easy to read. It is a well-built bible with a synthetic leather paste down liner, gold gilding on the pages, smythe sewn binding. It should last for many years. The red letter is dark, almost a dark brown. In low light you might not even notice it’s a different color, but that could be good if you have a hard time reading bright red font. Dislikes: The printing is not consistent. on some pages the ink looks dark gray instead of black. The paper is incredibly thin and feels like it could tear easily. I have tried several crossway bibles and their paper always feels more like tissue paper to me when compared with holman, zondervan, or Thomas Nelson. The gilding on the page edges caused the pages to be stuck together, so I took the time to flip every page to break it up. The pages are a bit wavy in the gutter and at the edges. It comes with a ribbon, but it’s pretty tiny and not double-sided (I ended up just taking the ribbon out). For the price, none of these dislikes are a big deal, but thought I should share. The paper quality is my biggest gripe, but once again I knew what I was going to get from crossway. If the paper were just a bit more opaque or thicker, then it would be a 5-Star rating from me. You do get what you pay for, I knew this wasn’t going to be high quality but it is still very good overall and should hold up well for many years.

Quisiera decir que estoy muy contento con esta Biblia. La recibí muy pronto. Lo que más me gusta es que la letra sí es de 12 puntos y para mi es de fácil lectura en ese número de letra. Honestamente pensé que quizá hiba a llegar con la letra más chica o que la descripción no sería la correcta ya que el precio es muy económico; Sin embago, me gustaría decir que he visto muchas Biblias y esta Biblia valdría mucho más. El tamaño es perfecto. Recomendable 100%

This is a superb ESV Large Print personal sized Bible. Very satisfied.

Everything as described Expecially bold fonts. Reading my bible everyday now.

Exactly what I wanted! :) The Bible is the perfect travel size and easy to read. Beautiful cover! Very happy with the purchase

Very good for the price. The Imitation Leather is one of the best I've come across. This isn't a reference version though, unlike my "equivalent" NKJV and NIV, Large Print, Personal Size Bibles, The paper is very white (whiter than my equivalent, NKJV ), but the typface used in this ESV is a little too "thin/fine" for my taste, I prefer the slightly bolder one used by the NKJV, as it is more comfortable to the eyes. Bleed through is certainly noticeable but about average. I've added some photos to show typeface and bleed-through.
