I just got a new NLT Premium Slimline Reference Bible, Large Print TuTone leather. After looking at the NLT Sample Pages and Tyndale’s site I had a hard time deciding which one to buy. I wanted something in between each one.

The newer 2007 slimlines are listed as 9.75 pt. font size and the older ones at 11 at CBD. This newer 2007 version (although the copyright is 2004 on the inside) looks more like 11 and is a little larger than what I prefer. But the smaller slimline at 8 pt. would be a little too small. Here is a comparison of the LP Bible at the left and a printout of a PDF of the regular slimline:

This is not to scale so don’t use it as a gauge. It just shows the relative difference in size between the two. A ribbon is shown.

You can see that it has cross references at the end of paragraphs.

The cover is great. The leather is very soft and I love the colors. On my monitor the burgundy color looks more accurate in the first photo which shows the texture of the leather. I didn’t want to spend the time trying to correct the color on the second one.

The actual outside dimensions are 6 7/8″ x 9 1/2″.

The outside of the pages are gold and it has two ribbons. I’ve never had a Bible with two ribbons before. No bookmarks necessary.

The important thing is I like the translation better the more I read it and it will be my main reading Bible.
