Easier to buy than to read

I would not put into question the quality of the translation, neither the choice of the Protestant canon (for the Old Testament). I suggest you just learn to not get caught. Be 100% of his choice of translation is not necessarily easy, but fly over the wikipedia pages and some other pages to learn about three different translations, it is a prerequisite desirable before engaging in a reading that take much longer.

Where one can have big surprises is the quality of printing. It's not that at all. Between a paper very low-cost, light gray instead of black to a lot of places, even more serious defects on some pages (almost illegible even forcing himself, I do not know if it's all copies this version pocket or only a few ...).

I remember receiving a lot of consecutive years free, "high volume printed" with more pages, pages larger and slightly better print quality you can imagine these "large volumes printed" are not the Bible, that are not even real books. But if you really choose to buy the Bible, dare you take a book with the same print quality almost the telephone directory?

A bible within 2 is tempting, but is it a good offer for someone who nachèterait once a bible? I am not convinced at all ...

Some, however, indicate that the Bible is a valuable study tool alongside their other Bible. I must admit not being able yet to confirm or deny. The argument holds, and so I limit my bad note 2 stars instead of 1 star.

I personally much appreciated the Bible Jerusalem, pocket size, about 2,100 pages, I had used a great price (about 7 of almost new). At printing, the text is readable. You read the Bible being Christian or not, know that reading is long, and stick to the minimum time you spend reading.

You will also find other translations and other impressions very easily. I just suggest you think carefully about what you want, and make your own choice after you well informed.
