Came yesterday, it weighs about a pound so it is nice for one handed reading....cause hey...you have to have a free hand for coffee! It is VERY well made, much like the ESV, many of us have waited to see a truly well bound edition of the New King Jimmy. I got mine from the UK, Stateside they will be here on Jan 1st. 5 stars my friends! Highly recommended!

....I have NOT dropped the AV 1611 as my primary Bible! I do think that of all modern versions the NKJV is quite good, one reason I use it is that ,like you I am very familiar with the 1611, so, if I want to make a point to someone not familiar with the AV, I used the NKJV due to the use of the TR in the text and the simplicity of the readings.
The Pitt is smaller than your Allan ESV, the Pitt Minion is a bit like the first and best "thinline" Bible, the Goatskin is a good quality, that said, it is not flexible like your ESV, HOWEVER since it is Smyth-Sewn and can open flat in the palm of your hand, it really does not need the flexibility of some of the larger Bibles. Grace and Peace.

Yes, it is a CUP edition, the first NKJV they have ever done. I purchased mine through my friends in Glasgow Scotland at Allan and Son's, it is great to see a high quality edition of this Bible....finally!Came yesterday, it weighs about a pound so it is nice for one handed reading....cause hey...you have to have a free hand for coffee!

Is it available from Cambridge University Press? I need a decent large print NKJV because it is my pulpit bible and the one I have had for a year and a half from Nelson is already falling apart...
If you want a quality NKJV, then CUP is the only way to go.

The only NKJV I can ever recall seeing that does not have red letters is the MacArthur Study Bible.
I think the NASB Pitt Minion has red letters too.
How old is it, and what edition?
My Nelson NKJV does not have red letters.
How old is it, and what edition?
1994 Pew Library Edition.

I went with the Goatskin brother, it is a little more expensive, but goatskin is about the most durable Bible cover!
Also, is yours French Morocco, goatskin or what?

The Pitt is small! BUT it is the Mercedes of small Bibles! I am pushing 40 and last night late I read Galatians "cover to cover", the print and font style of the Pitt Minion is that the Words "leap" off the page. I don't know what the magic is but for me I get this only from CUP Pitt Minions!Dimensions are 4.75 x 6.875? That isn't really much larger than a pocket Bible, is it?
not all of us prefer the TRRICHARD!You have gone over to the dark side......
Of course not! I mean us good ones!not all of us prefer the TRRICHARD!You have gone over to the dark side......
