Thomas Nelson KJV Compact Thinline Review

The Thomas Nelson KJV Compact Thinline Bible is pretty much the perfect size to pop in a purse on the way to church or throw in a suitcase for travel.  I've included a photo of my hand next to the bible for reference - you can see that the type inside is going to be readable but small.  For travel, I'd honestly just keep it in the sturdy sleeve and tuck it somewhere it won't slide out and not bother with an expensive Bible cover. 

I have another much older Thomas Nelson KJV bible that is a mini-mini size and in battered but readable condition.  It's hard to explain but there's something about this new Bible that made me go hunt down my older little Bible and check for the publisher and sure enough, same outfit.  That makes me pretty confident that this Bible will stand up to any sort of regular use without falling apart.

I'm not including the picture of the book I got from the publisher because even with the glare, I think mine's better.  From the photo you can see the softness of the material and the nice stitching.  It doesn't have that new leather smell because it's not real leather but ohhh it is very soft.  True to the advertisement, it does lie flat so that one does not have to pry open the book in the middle to read to the end of the line.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”
