 Wow! Amazing! November 26, 2008
All I can say is that this Bible facsimile is amazing! It is small like a normal New Testament would be but a bit thicker.
I love my Geneva 1560 facsimile but it is really big. I bought the Tyndale facsimile because of it's smaller size. It will be easier to take with me to Iraq.
The facsimile is in full color! Prefect photo copies of the original.The only bad thing is that they could have blown up the copies to the size of the page so that there is not all the white around the sides. This is the only negative statement I could make. The writing is Gothic and looks amazing.
It is hard to read at first but after a little practice you will be on your way reading and enjoying this. Some of the letters look odd and it is smaller print. This is easily solved with practice. My eyes sight is good so if you need glasses I would assume you really will need them when reading this book.
William Tyndale died for what he believed in. This was his purpose, to get the Bible out to the common people. He was a master at eight languages! He was the first to go back to the original Hebrew and Greek to translate a Bible into English. This is history at it's best.
Anyway, as you can see I am a fan. I recommend this Bible to anyone who loves the Bible and history.
 The Tyndale New Testament: Facsimile of the 1526 Edition October 13, 2008

I was a little disapointed when I received this book. The book is very well done, as far as the artistic value is concerned but it's a different era and the book is small which makes the wording difficult to read. I find that it almost takes a magnifying glass to try and make out the words - and of course, the spelling is quite different to say the least. It makes me feel that I am trying read a different language. If you want to read Tyndale's New Testament try buying the modern spelling edition. It is much easer to read and to comprehend. Tyndale's work is a wonderful addition to my Kings James Edition.
Outstanding!!! September 20, 2008

A great facsimile. I collect Bible facsimiles, and this is the very best. It is also wonderful that by far, it is the lest expensive. The reprodution is one of the very, very best that I have ever seen. Far better than ones costing hundreds of dollars. The fact that it is still one of the very best English translations ever done makes it all the much better. The above reviewer's statement that it is not clear is not correct, it is perfectly clear. Perhaps that reviewer is not use to old style Gothic type? This is the most important Bible that was ever translated and printed, and it is a miracle that we can still read and enjoy the very first early modern English Translation from the original Greek.
This Bible was originaly printed almost 5 hundred years ago, and it is still perfectly readable today. It is actualy in more modern English than the later King James Version. Indeed the KJV copied straight from this Bible into theirs.
 Good idea, poor execution September 16, 2008

This book is fairly unreadable. Very poor quality of copies of the original pages. Lettering unclear and difficult to read.
Fantastic production at a bargain price September 2, 2008

I have been seeking the 1976 Paradine facsimile for years, having seen copies offered for 2-3 thousand USD. And then this comes along: wonderful full color (Bristol handcolored copy)photographic facsimile in very nice leather binding with gilted pages.
Why cannot somebody do this for the 1535 Coverdale Bible as well? The one and only facsimile was made in 1972 by Dawson press - and very hard to get.
Update: Do yourself a favour, do not let the negative reviewer stop you from aquiring this gem. Trust the advice from us that are Bible collectors and now a superb facsimile when we see one. (The Tyndale NT was printed in black letter ("gothic")- as was the first King James Version).
