 Has held up well April 28, 2008
I bought one of these pocket NIV new testaments a few years ago. There are a fair number of cheaper pocket NT's out there, but I purchased this one in the hopes that it would be durable, and that has proven to be the case. I also have a full-sized leather Cambridge wide-margined NIV bible that is an excellent quality bible, so I felt confident that this little NT would also be good quality. I got this NT to set up a personal goal of reading through all 4 gospels once a month. This amounts to 3 chapters a day, easily do-able in 20 minutes a day. I haven't been able to keep up with this month-in, month-out, but I have done it for a good 12+ months. Though I can see the binding between a few of the pages, none of the pages have begun to come loose, and it has seen a fair amount of usage. This NT was in a bag along with my cell phone that I dropped in the garage and accidentally backed over with my car. The cell phone was ruined, but the bible came through unscathed.
A Perfect Pocket New Testament March 26, 2008
Cambridge has done it again! This is just about a perfect pocket New Testament. The calfskin leather cover is wonderful. It's a dark red with gold lettering. Very soft and perfectly symetrical in every way. Feels great in your hands and even smells great! The paper is traditional Bible paper, thin with gold edging. The print is very, very good for a small coat pocket New Testament. The print is extremely clear and very readable. I also like the single column format. Comes in a slip case, with a ribbon marker and presentation page. Highly recommended!
 Love the Bible (text)...but the cover...! December 8, 2006

I ordered the Cambridge U. Press small white NT as a confirmation gift for my parents to give my daughter and when I took the plastic wrapper off and removed the cardboard sleeve to allow them to inscribe it -- a hugely noticeable red spot on the cover! I may try this publisher's list again, but with much greater caution. I should add that the text is beautiful, even though necessarily small and the pages thin. Too bad about the poor workmanship on the cover.
Exquisite Calfskin Leather Protects God's Holy Word March 8, 2005

Cambridge has put together a beautiful tiny edition of the New Testament. Moreover, it is in the easy-to-understand New International Edition. The calfskin is luxurious and supple with a nice even, natural grain. The gold embossing could have been a little more precise but it is understandable because of the small size. It even comes with a nice black ribbon to mark your favorite passages! A special slipcover is also provided. In summary, this is an A-1, top-of-the line pocket new testament that won't be found outside Cambridge.
Maybe I got a lemon? February 3, 2005

I seem to have bad luck with Cambridge's leather bindings. The bindings on both this volume and the full-size leather REB (ISBN 0521509556) both cracked such that pages have begun to pull apart at the front and back of the volumes, though fortunately not out of the binding. I returned the latter to Amazon, but kept this one simply because it is perfect for keeping in my briefcase. I've had this volume for almost four years now and have really enjoyed taking it with me on business trips.
Beautiful red leather cover. The paper is (probably necessarily) very thin and feels flimsy. I didn't feel the font size was too small and appreciated the fact that layout was done in a single column rather than compressing it into two. I love the Swift font that Cambridge uses and find it very readable. My only wish is that Cambridge had also included the Psalms and Proverbs - apart from my binding issues, this would have made for the perfect portable devotional Bible.
