The cover is where this Bible really shines. And there are also some maps in the back. In addition, there’s a concordance in the back, which is handy. I definitely don’t have any big issues with it there. However, it’s still a very readable Bible. Unfortunately, it is not text aligned, meaning the ink from the text on the back is on the same line as the front. You will see some bleeding of the text through the backside of the page, but it’s not too distracting. The paper is thin, but it’s not too thin where you feel like it will tear easily. However, it’s still a very readable size. It has an eight-point font size, which is smaller than the other Bibles I like.

Like all the other ESV Thinline Bibles, it’s a double-column Bible. Opened wide, it’s barely smaller than a full sheet of printer paper.

The side is about an inch thick and the dimensions are about an inch or so bigger than my hand. It’s a great size-big enough to read, but small enough to throw in a bag, in a car, or carry with you at church. The ESV Thinline Bible is the most popular Bible that Crossway makes it for a reason. It costs more, however, in my opinion, it’s worth it. The buffalo leather is a major step up in quality. Compared to the ESV Thinline Bible in genuine leather, you can immediately see the difference. The buffalo leather Thinline Bible is the same as all the other Thinlines except for the cover. How Is it Different From Other Thinline Bibles?
