NASB Single Column Reference Bible Premier Collection Review 

I think this will be my first (and probably last) premium Bible purchase. Looks great for me. Looking for a nonstudy Bible to really live in for years.

Sigh..the NASB without the Literal footnotes is rather lackluster. Thats the best part! Great review, thanks for sharing.

Wow! Awesome Bible. Yes, I would love to see a bit more space in the gutter. The same for nearly all the Premier Collection Bibles IMO. Thank you for another awesome review.

I love this Bible! I like it better than the Schuyler (Quentel)...I can't stop reading it, there something about the font that just has me wanting to read more...this NASB with the MacArthur study bible NASB 🔥🔥

I recently got this one and it’s awesome, definitely my forever Bible.

Thank you very much for your review. I think I know which Bible to pick up. Appreciate the review.

Randy, Your suggestion for the change in the gutter is spot on! Even a small move would help. Great review for a Great Bible. I want one. Since my wife might just kill me for buying yet another Bible, I should wait until close to father's day.

i just recently ordered this bible on 4/27/23, the first day of the 2023 NFL Draft

Beautiful NASB 1995 Bible by Zondervan through Comfort Print Typesetting designed by 2K Denmark. I cannot wait to get that Bible soon.

Awesome Review Randy!

I have this bible and the gutter issues seem solved in the one I have. Excellent PRINT and not too many words per line so very readable.

Mine is coming on Tuesday...very excited. Great review. I believe they have fixed the gutter/text issue in the newer releases.

I bought this with a burgundy colored cover. It was at Mardels and it was 50% off at only $100. I also had a $25 gift card. I could not pass this up. I wanted a premier Bible for a long time now but didn’t want to spend $200. Awesome Bible.

I have and like this bible ..glad you do too.

I just ordered one of these from Evangelical Bible 20 minutes ago. They are running a discount special right now. The original price was $199; I bought it for $100. This is one of the most beautiful layouts I have ever seen. It will be alongside my favorite TBS Westminster KJV side column reference bible. These two translations are my absolute favorites.

yummy Bible! I need a good NASB but I like writing notes on my Bibles. :)

This looks like an amazing Bible. Thanks for the review. The missing footnotes is a bummer, but I guess you could always have the NASB on your phone next to you to check the footnotes.

Beautiful layout and readable. Red HILITES. References also readable mostly.

Would like to see a comparison review between this Bible & the Preacher Handy Size.

I can't wait to see the review on the giant print!

Holman WILL do large PRINT personal SIZE in April 2022. For NASB 95. They HAVE done so in other translations already. About 11.25 font in about 8.5 x 5.5. X 1.25. Assortment of covers and colours. A GOLDILOCKS size bible. Holman hits a homerun with these BIBLES before NASB 95 even comes out in this PS..large PRINT.

Great review. If you could only choose one, either the ZSCR and LSCR for regular reading and study, which would it be?

I have this in PREMIER And regular LEATHER. So like it a lot. Insides are same with RED hilites.

Best SINGLE COLUMN AND BEST NASB I OWN. ALSO HAVE IN LEATHER.

I like that text is NOT too wide for reading. My best NASB 95.

This is probably the ONLY expensive SCT ..SCR I will buy but it is beautiful. Readable Feels and smells great.

I want red letter, thumb indexed, with the comfort print, Study Bible. I can't seem to find my Goldilocks Bible, either from Amazon or Christianbook.com. I feel as though I'm a duck out of water because I honestly want and prefer the red letter text and a thumb index. I have two different versions that I use for reading only, and both were very inexpensive and both have red letter and thumb index. No references or study helps though because I purchased them for kick back reading only. But I want one almost premium Bible that I can write in, highlight, and underline in the NAS but can't seem to find one. I know you have a decent following so if there is anyone out there who can steer me to the Bible I described above, would you mind adding a reply to my comment? Thank you.

This is one of 2 single column texts i like.

If they had pulled that text just a hair more out of that gutter this bible would be the best NASB out there IMHO. They had plenty of space to do so , I don't know why these things happen but I have seen it many times. I really think Nelson and Zondervan could benefit from sending out page samples to reviewers. Or they could send photo samples to hear opinions on these things . I think the Humble Lamb approach can create long term relationships. When a publisher listens to their customers it's a win win for both parties.

It is about 10 words per line so perfect for me. Good dark PRINT. My favourite NASB 95 bible in regular LEATHER. And GOATSKIN IS NICE . AND it is nice to smell and hold. IF you are sitting down. GUTTER PROBLEM FIXED IN MINE.

WOW... it does not have all the translators´notes??? That is very disappointing, I thought it did :( I agree they should put the references inside and add the full set of translators notes. Is the leathersoft also art-gilded? I have seen some photos on Facebook that look like it is.

Is the camera out of focus today or is it just me?

I bought this bible, I can NOT find a proper sized bible cover for it. I prefer leather or faux leather...do you have any ideas?!?

I like BLACK LETTER NOW THAT MY EYES ARE GETTING OLDER. I HAVE THIS IN GOATSKIN AND COWHIDE. SAME INSIDE. IF EVEN SIDE COLUMN REFERENCES WERE LEGIBLE ..WITHOUT MAGNIFYING GLASS.. FOR ME AT LEAST. .THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVOURITE BIBLE. OTHER WOULD BE NKJV CENTER COLUMN REFERENCE WITH. .RED HILITES. BOTH HAVE GOOD PRINT.AND WHITE SPACING. . .

Hello sir, thank you for the great review, thank you! Forgive me if I missed it, do you know what kind of leather the liner is? God bless you!

I got this later and gutter issues seems fixed.

Did you find the overcast stitching in the back? I can only find it in the front. Is it usually front and back? It is in the NIV preaching bible

decisions decisions. I really want the preacher Bible as well.

On the NKJV premium. That leather is so soft the spine has become very lose. Like the spine is floating when the Bible is open. Do you think this will have the same problem? Thanks!

The lack of reference notes and the verses running into the gutter draws a major fail for this edition, Zondervan fix this and you’ll have a winner on your hands.

Well if it’s lacking literal footnotes and references and also texts falling into gutter is there a better version ?

Darker print in NASB SCT is darker than Quentel. AND half the price. And thicker less floppy goatskin in mine. #2 always tries harder. As Avis used to say.

I received mine yesterday but in leathersoft. One thing that bothers me that you didn't mention is the verse numbers are very tiny. That's one of my negatives. But overall I am loving this Zondervan NASB SCR WM Bible. My other Bible I am going to get this year is the Zondervan NASB Preachers Bible. Looking forward to that review. Good job on your review of NASB SCR Bible Premier Collection.

Could you explain what those numbers are at the bottom of the page, just beneath where you pointed at "Printed in China?"

WILL THAT BIBLE BE IN GIVEAWAY

I like that NASB 95 IN PREACHING BIBLE. INDENTS AND OFFSETS CONVERSATIONS EVEN FROM GOD AS IN GENESIS 17. 1..2 AS DOES LSB.

I OBSERVE QUENTEL PR8NT IS BIG BUT NOT DARK OR BOLD. SO HARD TO READ. BUT NICE TO SMELL AND HOLD.

Frhaat kind of money you shouldn’t have a gutter problem.. ( my opinion)

I enjoy your reviews, but your camera is out of whack. Also, will you give an update when you write in the bible.

Why eliminate the notes while retaining the maps?? In this day and age of the computer, none of these bibles should be coming with things like maps and concordances. Let’s do everything we can to squeeze larger fonts with larger margins into smaller overall dimensions instead!!

The non goatskin cover is more sturdy. AND CHEAPER. I THINK IS GENUINE LEATHER. MAY BE LEATHER LIKE BUT VERY VERY NICE.

This is a beautiful Bible. Too bad the text rolls so far into the gutter, an unforgivable oversight in my opinion, an eight of an inch would help , possibly not enough though. I think I will wait till the new version of the Thompson Chain comes out this year hopefully assuming they make it in NASB, OH I hope so. Or go with a Cambridge wide margin.

I think in later e.g. this month..gutter is bigger.

put my name in drawing for this bible

Gutter no issue in mine.

The text going into the gutter like that really bothers me. They definitely should have moved it away from the gutter. They are not marketing it as a note takers Bible so I don’t know why they left so much margin on the right side. It is also a shame that they did not include all the translators notes. Did they include all of the cross references that the translators included? There was plenty of room to include all the notes so I don’t know why they didn’t. Also it seems really floppy for such a large Bible.

Nice Bible but the text is too far into the gutter! A little more to the center would make this Bible irresistible for those who do not want to spend 200 plus dollars for a good Bible.

The words are too close to the gutter. That kind of ruins it for me.

I absolutely love the Lockman / foundation publications version, it’s my favorite Bible layout. This one is highly disappointing because of 1) no space in gutter 2) no space at bottom 3) no footnotes!! 4) not as many cross references. They took away the best features. Two thumbs down!
