Summary: Beautiful King James Version Bible
Review: Cambridge Bibles are simply the best. The quality, craftsmenship, and the fonts and paper used is simply unbeatable. In the age of mass production Bibles (especially in the United States), it's good to see the Bibles put out by Cambridge Press.

This edition of the King James Version (KJV) is wonderful. I keep mine next to my bed and I read it every night. The texture is great (I have the goatskin edition). The paper is thin but quite easy to turn. And the font is just right. Overall this is a great Bible.

If you are an NIV or NKJV user, I would urge you to purchase a Bible such as this one in the KJV and simply compare the translations. I prefer a literal translation such as the NASB, NKJV, or ESV right along with my KJV. It's good to read from these literal translations and get a good grasp on the Word of God.

Summary: Cambridge quality, Cambridge price........
Review: I am very pleased with my new Pitt Minion Bible. It is ideal size for travel and durable to boot. I have the Goatskin cover so I expect many years of use out of it.
I always "cringe" when I deliberate on buying a Cambridge Bible because of the price, but I do want exceptional quality and this is their specialty. I always search Addall.com or Bestbookbuys.com for the best price.
As for the small print, I am fine with it since I don't have to wear eyeglasses to read (yet!).

Summary: EXCELLENT TRAVEL BIBLE
Review: I would just like to praise the Cambridge Press for introducing yet another quality produced KJV Bible edition. While the type is a bit small it should not be too hard to read for any one with half way decent eyesight. As to be expected the Bible paper is excellent India quality and the binding and leather cover are superb. Even if subjected to years of hard use this bible should still be servicable. Yes the price is a bit much but if you want quality you will have to pay for it. After all just look at the garbage that cheap American Bible Publishers like Thomas Nelson flog off on the public - Bibles that start falling apart after only weeks of use (this is from personal experience)! Do not cheat yourself! If you want a great long lasting Bible that is a pleasure to own BUY CAMBRIDGE!

Summary: The perfect portable Bible? As close as they come.
Review: My new French Morocco-bound Cambridge Pitt Minion is fast becoming my constant companion; not only is it ideal for travel, but it is so legible and pleasant to handle that it has become my standard for daily reading at home. Mind you, I am 62 years old and require reading glasses in any case, but this Bible is clearer and sharper than any of its several "portable" predecessors. The old calfskin Cambridge Cameo with Apocrypha is still preferable for study because more complete, a bit easier to read, and as well bound; and I do use the Logos CD for Greek, Hebrew and comparing translations, but my Pitt Minion is a joy to carry, hold, and read. Like the KJV it contains, it is a classic. It could only be improved by including the so-called "Apocrypha" in the same volume. This was integral to the Holy Scriptures as revered in the early Church, used by all Christians for 1,500 years, and by all Catholic and Orthodox Christians to the present day. But I'm dreaming. The Anglo-American Bible business is run by Protestants, so I'm lucky to have a well-bound, almost complete, classic translation of the Bible at all. And doubly blessed that the same great University on the Cam have now republished the best portable Bible available in English. Bravo!

Summary: a very handsome, formal Bible
Review: This is a very beautiful book. From the font to the feel to the smell, every part of this Bible is lovely. With this Bible you get a very real sense of the proud tradition of the King James (Authorized) Version of the Bible. I love my Cambridge Bible, though it is definitely NOT the bible to take camping with you in the swamps or to highlight half of the verses in. I will say that the cross reference notes are very good, but not the best that I have come across (that distinction belongs to the NIV study Bible). This bible will probably serve you better in formal woship settings or private devotions than in in-depth Bible study. It's smaller 'just right' size makes it useful for travel as well as home/church use. This is very high quality book - and that is especially appropriate for the Bible.
